I think Rove is worried that the real reason for the war will come out.
And the american people won't like the idea that the war was pursued as a campaign prop for the 2004 elections. So you can see why he might be a little distracted.

Mm. Perhaps he's worried that the democrats are going to take all the glory when the US finally regain their sanity.

Seriously, though. That there were no discussion ahead of the war, that the decision- making process was inexistent and so on - this is a hidden elephant so huge that when it finally starts to stretch it's legs, it's going to be completily immaterial whether or not Bush really did the right thing or not in Iraq or with whatever else he's pushed through. What they've done is simply not what democracy is, and as long as the american people don't lose their minds or become braindead again, the Whitehouse is not going to pull their way out of this one. They're simply going to end up as abusers of power (and inept ones as well on top of that). It strikes me as very odd, but what they're doing now is simply setting themselves up by highlighting how they argued their way into the war.

btw, these are pretty funny:

"Setting the Record Straight:...." rofl. These guys are incredible.

But the problem here is that as long as this turd- slinging is going on, the skilled people are going to be sidelined the instant there's any split opinions, either because they'll be keeping themselves well off actual legislative work, trying to avoid putting fuel on the pyre, or weight on their president's neck. Or otherwise because they're reduced to pure opposition- politicians with no plans on their own, happily spending their time torturing themselves over the horrible plans, if any, that the Whitehouse manage to produce... But meanwhile, things go badly for us.
