2006 is a little over a year away. Iraq is controlling his approval. Just like there was nothing we could do to lower his approval when it was 60%, there is nothing he can do to increase it while it is close to 40%. The only thing that will save him is the insurgency getting much better. He wont pull the troops out. He wants to by 2006 to help the GOP, but wont because that would backfire. It would be the single worst decision an American president has ever made, retreating from a war, knowing that will probably result in a civil and later regional war, with the likely emergence of a Nazi Germany type country, all to help your party in the next election. Everyone would think he is cutting and running (which would be true) and he would have his ass handed to him over it.
