I have no problems with "It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime." If this had been GWBush's goal from the beginning I might have supported the war. Instead the reasoning we were given was paraphrased: "It is the policy of the United States to preemptively invade Iraq to ensure our security without a clear successor for Hussein or any semblance of an exit strategy for our soldiers." A democratic solution was only mentioned by Bush after it was painfully clear to every last American that the WMDs used to inspire so much fear and support for the war were non-existant.
"Support efforts" is somewhat different from "unilateral invasion" in my eyes.
