The Plan to go to war was Bush and GOP
The failed execution of the war was Bush and GOP.

Go Look up Freedom fries.
AND if you opposed the war you were labeled anti-American and all politician who opposed the war took a big hit politically from republican politicians and fox news.
If Gore would've won the election there would not have been a War in Iraq.
