Not if he had gained a declaration of war.
Not gaining the formal declaration may be the worst political move Bush ever made.

Failing to support this war in Iraq is the best way to kill our troops.
Bush couldn't possibly have gotten a formal declaration of war, for the same reasons why Congress has never formally declared war since 1941. Declaring war means identifying an enemy, and in this age of "nation-building" in the "New World Order" this simply isn't going to happen. This is precisely why every military action the U.S. has undertaken since 1945 has been a half-@ssed effort in which "building a coalition" to support the action has been more important than protecting the sovereignty of the United States.
