I shudder to think what it would look like with Cheney and Rumsfeld running the show. They took mismanagement/malfeasance to new heights in the first several years of the Iraq War and this isn't just my opinion. There are numerous well-sourced books that describe, in excruciating detail, the fundamental incompetence of that pair.
