Everything. Robespierre was an immensely popular orator, but though his speeches were fine rabble-rousing stuff, his delivery was quiet and hesitant. Robespierre was credited with the leadership of the Committe of Public Safety, but he was not the leader and his ideas were seldom adopted by the Committee. Robespierre was credited with military victories, but his military experience was nil and his strategic ideas simply pathetic. The real leader of the Committee was Carnot, who also happened to be a soldier of genius. Robespierre, in fact, was just the front man, and Carnot used his popularity to forward his own policy of conscription and terror.
