It's been a long time since I read 'The Prince,' but, from what I can recall, not much.
He did let Rumsfeld and a succession of generals take the lead in Iraq and let them go when they botched it - not quite as extreme as the Machiavellian tactic of giving regency to a ruthless bastard, then executing him, thus 'rescuing' the populace, but along the same lines.
But he hasn't exactly been "a fox to recognize traps and a lion to frighten away wolves."

Does Bush even know Machiavelli existed? I doubt it. Besides, he doesn't need Machiavelli. He's got Karl Rove. Wait a minute...
