it's funny, I keep hearing "we won the war, but then Obama lost it..."
But if we won the war, why are people like Paul Wolfowitz distancing themselves from it? I can't quite figure it out...

To MSNBCs Chuck Todd: If I had been the architect, things would have been run very differently. So thats not a correct label.
To CNNs Chris Cuomo: I was not the architect of the war. If I were the architect it would have been handled very differently.
Wolfowitz made a similar objection to the Sunday Times in 2013:
He denied that he was the architect of the Iraq invasion. It wasnt conducted according to my plan.
