rukkyg,
i think your preconceived notions clouded your reading of this. the article says nothing about about invasion, all it does is state the removal of saddam hussein as a valid and necessary objective. invasion is, of course, a method of doing just that... but not the only way. in fact, it provides specific statements concerning backing anti-saddam groups within iraq... suggesting an internal coup rather than an invasion. if you had read this before the war i think you would have derived significantly different conclusions about its intent.
also, people don't "implant themselves" into foreign policy, they are chosen and appointed.
