You keep mentioning this "declaration of war", but you keep failing to produce it.

But first, the President cannot declare war, so it cannot be "Bush's declaration of war".

Article I, Section 8 describes the powers of Congress. Line 11 states:

To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water;

Only Congress can declare war.
