Maybe I am not fully understanding what you are referring to, but invading Iraq actually was the sole decision of our Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush. Congress may have authorized the use of force, but the decision to use it was his and his alone.

To Bush's credit (I guess) he certainly does not deny that the decision was his. Nor does he deny that he has made the grander strategic decisions that have been made since the invasion. That is his job.
