The War on Errorism is the ninth studio album by the punk rock band NOFX released on May 6, 2003. The album takes aim at current US president George W. Bush, and his policies. The album cover features a cartoon version of the president as a clown, while the back of the inlet / runout groove has a caption stating "Somewhere in Texas there is a village without its idiot". The song "Franco Un-American" was the first single, garnering some airplay on major radio stations in the United States.

The album was recorded in 2003 after they left Epitaph Records in 2001, following the release of 2000's Pump Up The Valuum.

"Mattersville" was originally released on Fat Music Volume 6: Uncontrollable Fatulence. A few songs from The War on Errorism were included on the Regaining Unconsciousness EP, released earlier.

A music video was made for the song, 'Franco Un-American'. [1]

The album reached the #1 position on the Billboard Independent Album chart
