I am not completely convinced that Bush is a Dominionist, either, but if that was the reason, or part of the reason, for the ill-advised and self-destructive invasion of Iraq, then you have your answer as to how it affects policy.
Even if it was part of the reason for invading -- which you'd have to provide proof of -- Bush and Colin Powell lay out a whole argument that had nothing to do with that and the Senate voted on it. So it's hard to truly assert that policy was guided by Bush's personal religion.
