I have no doubt that Rove's statement was strategic. It whoops the polarization, bring back 9/11, and basically challenges everyone who does not blindly follow the hammer-neocon agenda to prove him "wrong", show their toughness by restating their war support. The subtlties of Afghanistan war vs Iraq war are lost, again...
When things in Iraq are redirected, as it seems they must be, he can plead that it was all the liberals fault, and has a ready hammer for whatever new strategy or shift is laid out. Its setting up the blame. You're with us or against America. and a wimp. He's counting on the American regard for muscle over brains and ignoring the reality that we need both.
