Well it certainly undermines his message to anyone who is in step with reality, but as is frequently reported, the Bush "base" is "energized" by such talk.
I'm sure Bush's speechwriters know very well that perpetuating the false link between 9/11 and Iraq will further alienate much of the population, but at the same time they must feel confident that they can always count on their supporters' blind faith. After all, Bush's popularity may be at an all time low, but an astounding 45% of people still support him!
