I don't know when G. W. Bush will, but even his own party relegated him to obscurity in the 2008 election, despite the fact that he was still the President at the time. To this day Iraq is an easy punching bag for politicians on both sides of the aisle.

In fact I read part of the HASC's proposed NDAA for FY-14 and despite being Republican-dominated the bill was full of warnings about applying the lessons learned from Iraq when deciding what to do, or not do, about the ongoing war in Syria.

It sounds to me like the U.S. government in all sectors is well-aware of how stupid that mistake was.
