The quotes, in particular the last one from Delay, are perfectly relevant.
Further, if a Democratic president had launched the invasion of Iraq, we'd
be hearing the same things again from these Republicans.

Here's Delay's quote again (note, you should change "A month
later" to "2 years later":

"I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it
is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just
learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very
vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these
questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement.
There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There
is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding
program. There is no agenda to bolster our over-extended military. There is
no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There
was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and
there still is no plan today" -- Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)
