It's true Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz aren't technically the White House--only the main architects of the war. Qualifying language aside, the American public was sold on the idea of a fast, painless campaign; the latter it definitely wasn't, especially for "uncountable" dead and mutilated Iraqis, and the former remains to be seen. I don't find the staged statue-toppling as persuasive as some did, and the Afghan experiment doesn't bode well for the success of McNationbuilding.
