Karl Rove...No longer Super Genius?!?!?!

If this WashPost Article is true it seems Karl Rove is off the rails and doesn't know what to do. However the folks claimed to be the source of salvation here -are- the people who brought us Harriet Miers so they may be a tad suspect and maybe (just maybe) producing a leak that is Self Serving.

That proved a galvanizing moment at the White House, according to a wide range of GOP strategists in and out of the administration. Rove, Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman and White House strategic planning director Peter H. Wehner urged the president to dust off the 2004 election strategy and fight back, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations. White House counselor Dan Bartlett and communications director Nicolle Wallace, however, counseled a more textured approach. The same-old Bush was not enough, they said; he needed to be more detailed about his strategy in Iraq and, most of all, more open in admitting mistakes -- something that does not come easily to Bush.

Although Rove raised concerns about giving critics too much ground, the younger-generation aides prevailed. Bush agreed to try the approach so long as he did not come off sounding too negative. Peter D. Feaver, a Duke University specialist on wartime public opinion who now works at the White House, helped draft a 35-page public plan for victory in Iraq, a paper principally designed to prove that Bush had one.

Yes if this is true our LORD AND MASTER Karl Rove was not the genius behind the Bush resurgence we all know and love right now which has brought the President to a near 50% approval raiting.

We'll see 10 years or so down the road if this is indeed the case.
