Well, he may be at 22 percent approval, but W is still trying his level best to keep his policies in place by putting McCain in the White House through an October surprise.
Below is the most recent of several stories I've seen recently that shows an uptick in aggressive U.S. military activies on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan where apparently everyone but Bush knew Osama bin Liden has likely been hiding these many years.
Leave it to Bush to wait seven years until an election -- and his policies of endless war for oil companies -- are at risk to search for bin Laden. And as someone pointed out, these are the same types of incursions into Pakistan that McCain said were foolhardy during his debate with Obama.

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan - Two suspected U.S. missile strikes Friday on villages close to the border with Afghanistan killed at least 12 people, most of them militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
American forces recently ramped up cross-border operations against Taliban and al-Qaida militants in Pakistan's border zone with Afghanistan — a region considered a likely hiding place for Osama bin Laden.
Two missiles believed to have been fired from U.S. unmanned drones launched from neighboring Afghanistan hit the villages in North Waziristan just before dusk, according to the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
A missile strike in one village killed at least 12 people, while there were no reported casualties in the other, they said. The officials did not identify the victims.
