SEC. 8. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize or otherwise speak to the use of United States Armed Forces (except as provided in section 4(a)(2)) in carrying out this Act.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sec. 4(a)(2) is limited to "provid[ing] to the Iraqi democratic opposition organizations" assistance, limited to "the drawdown of defense articles", not to exceed $97,000,000.
How can you possibly read that to authorize an invasion with several hundred thousand troops? "Oh, the democratic movements ran out of troops! We'll draw down our stocks... of people!!!"

Nice try Sidd, but what is "defence services" :
4(a)(2)(A) The President is authorized to direct the drawdown of defense articles from the stocks of the Department of Defense, defense services of the Department of Defense, and military education and training for such organizations.
It is the provision of troops. Clearly.
