Do really believe this? I posit that a true leader should do and say what's best to win the war and protect his country, not have some massive group therapy session to come up with a consensus position that speaks for every single citizen.

Remember those "United We Stand" bumperstickers after 9/11?

I don't ever recall hearing about them being placed on John Kerry's Range Rover, or on Sharpton's limos or Kucinich's bicycle, so perhaps the "we" in that statement didn't
apply to them.

Rove shouldn't be exploiting 9/11 for partisan advantage.

Accurately portraying the position of your political opponents is not exploitation. You only perceive it as such because, to quote my betters, the truth hurts.
