"Such an approach would almost certainly lose the war."

Yeah because Karl Rove knows what he's talking about...blah blah blah.

One could also say he's a good delegator, Rove spin = outsource, and leaves the issues to the experts like Generals doing war, Attorney Generals conducting investigations, House Appropriations Committee writing stimulus packages, etc. What a concept.

BTW, as we all witnessed, allowing GW to judge anything was extremely dangerous to America and a lot of careers.
