Actually, Cheney and Rumsfeld were considered wise old hands from his father's administration and I think most people without an idealogical bias saw them as such. At the time Bush first took office it was Ashcroft who most people considered the "problematic" cabinet member.


Cheney was certainly wise back when he said taking out Saddam would destabalize the area.
