Paul Wolfowitz: don't call me an architect of the Iraq War

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 MSNBC’s Chuck Todd: “If I had been the architect, things would have been run very differently. So that’s not a correct label.”

To CNN’s 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 wasn’t conducted according to my plan.”

is not inconsistent with either Paul Wolfowitz or an architect. Just ask Albert Speer.
