"Bush’s leadership style bordered on the hurried. He wanted action, solutions. Once on a course, he directed his energy at forging on, rarely looking back, scoffing at – even ridiculing – doubt and anything less than 100 percent commitment. He seemed to harbor few, if any, regrets. His short declarations could seem impulsive"
That is supposed to be a bad thing ? LOL. Why is that ? Is it because panels, focus groups, academics and psuedo intellectuals weren't consulted ? Or is it because this White House doesn't leak and Woodward is forced to report his assumptions ?
Taken out of context it is impossible to know what he meant by that stab at Karl Rove. However, I'd be willing to bet Rove never so much as thought that much less said it aloud. Rove is too smart to let the likes of Woodward get the best of him. He is an amateur historian and has probably studied Watergate inside and out. He and the president have worked together for 29 years and there is no way he would equate anything that President Bush does with Nazi Germany.
