It's not odd if you don't conflate the meaning of left and right with Democrat and Republican. The Bush administration has been solidly left.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Bush is a national socialist, and an imperialist. He fooled some conservatives in 2000 when he talked quite a bit of the talk, but that fell apart quickly.

In modern American history warmongering has overwhelmingly been the business of the left. Guns and butter and all that. Go count up military actions and pair them to presidents.

Bush is a national socialist

That's an interesting choice of words.

Maybe he's trying to qualify for Godwin's law.
