Iraq has nothing to do with the presidents current troubles. Those against the war still hate him. It is the 21% of his base that he has lost due to mismanagement on domestic problems that has caused his fall. Iraq is a non-issue at this point. The media wants you to believe otherwise because they are against the war and want to be vindicated. The media will not come out and say Bush is doing badly because he is being too liberal that would mean the Media understand that America is majority conservative. So they use Iraq instead to point to Bush's trouble which it is not.

My point is that all the problems Bush has with his base are not very important in the big picture, which is: Bush will be President until 08 and the success or failure of his presidency will not be decided by the Dubai port issue or Harriet Meiers --it will be decided by the fate of Iraq.. In about one year the 2008 election starts: the country is already deciding what it wants to do about the immigration issue regardless of Bush. What we all need to do is think about what 06 and 08 will look like if the D's get back in control
