I think Teddy Kennedy started the “Bush lied us into war” theme a few months after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and then many other Democrats joined in.

I don’t recall him repeating the “Bush lied” meme but Obama himself rose to prominence on an anti-war theme, i.e., the war was unjust, we had no business being there, Afghanistan is/was the “good” war, etc.
