When you say "We" I hope you are not saying the entire nation felt this way. There was warning after warning that going to war was going to lead to this end, but anyone who opposed the wisdom of the war hawks got shouted down as "hatters of America' and "lefty morons". Only the sheeple who followed the Bush call to war with his lie coated propaganda are shocked with this outcome. Please don't try to include everyone and say that there was ever some kind of united consensus for this war amongst the population. Objection to the war and predictions of this kind of turn out had been stated well in advance, but the Bush administration and right wing media worked overtime to suppress any decent to the war plan. To use an old phrase, "Told you so".

"We" is a statement that includes all of us in the sense that what our government does, we do. This is a government for the people and by the people, even when we disagree with what happens. We give lots of money to people in the form of welfare spending every year (far more than we spend on military or war) and I still say "we" even though I find that to be incredibly stupid. If you disagree with my wording, then I don't really give a shit (since your distinction and worry is a little too anal retentive).

Otherwise, there have been many who supported the war thinking the Bush administration would have performed it in more intelligent ways. The war was not and is not unjustified in their minds. It's been poorly managed by misguided and simplistic thinking.
