Strange AP article on Bush being "reinvigorated" on Asian trip

So how did their "analysis" conclude that he has been reinvigorated why he failed to get allies in the region, South Korea in particular, to jump on his initiative to board ships going to North Korea? Sounds like yet another setback to me. The "analysis" goes on to talk about his election failures and how nobody is talking about that or the sacking of Rumsfeld, so what does that have to do with Bush being reinvigorated? A breather before the storm when he arrives back in the US and continues his partisan attacks and pushes for more extremist judges, but hardly anything that resembles being reinvigorated. A brief flash of bluster with his pro-war friend from Australia but that's standard when Bush and Howard are together. What rubbish.
