Heckuva Job, Wolfie!
Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz was one of the chief neocon architects of the Iraq war, the one who justified invading Iraq by saying that it was a "Brittle, oppressive regime that might break easily - it was doable."
His ideology dictated a pro-American democracy would flourish there and "Americans will be welcomed as liberators."
When confronted with international opposition, he pressed the neocon belief that diplomacy, allies, and coalitions were of little use, instead adhering to the Bush Doctrine, which features preemptive, unilateral military.
In the wake of the disastrous consequences one might think that he would have been forced to resign like FEMA Director Michael Brown after Katrina.
Instead, Dubya rewarded him with the Medal Of Freedom, our nation's highest civilian honor.
