How Bush can make Iraq disappear:It's not as easy as 'Presto!' but the president just yet may be able to use his magic touch on Iraq.

NO ONE LOVES HIM.

His favorability ratings in the U.S. are lower than they've ever been, and our closest allies, the British, think he poses a greater danger to world peace than either President Kim Jong Il of North Korea or President Mamoud Ahmadinejad of Iran. His party has lost its congressional majority, the Iraq Study Group declared his Iraq policies a failure and the Joint Chiefs of Staff are reported to unanimously oppose his plan for a "surge" of U.S. troops in Iraq.

Rummy's gone, the tabloids have claimed that Laura's filing for divorce, and some say that even Barney the dog no longer wants to talk to him.
George W. Bush has a problem, and it's called Iraq, the country that just won't go away. There's no satisfying way to solve this problem either.
