For my money, GWB is the Republican Lyndon Johnson and Rumsfeld is the 21st century's McNamara.

I'd go for a combination of Lyndon Johnson and Woodrow Wilson. That's based on Bush's campaign promise that there would be no nation building during his administration, all the while planning to do just that in Iraq long before the 9/11/2001 criminal attacks. I think your assessment of Rumsfeld is pretty accurate, with an additional comment that Rumsfeld is about as soulless as they come, perhaps a sociopathic personality. Bush has traits of the sociopath as well.
