SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Contrary to the Weinberger Doctrine, which states that 
        the United States should use military force only if it is in 
        the vital national interest of the United States and only with 
        clearly defined political and military goals, the United States 
        went to war against Iraq in March 2003 without clearly defined 
        political and military goals.
            (2) Contrary to the Powell Doctrine, which states that if 
        the United States is to use military force it should be 
        ``overwhelming'' military force, the United States went to war 
        against Iraq without the troop levels or strategy needed to 
        secure a post-invasion Iraq.
            (3) Ignoring the advice of United States military leaders 
        and experts, the President sent United States troops into war 
        against Iraq without sufficient levels needed for post-conflict 
        success and without sufficient armor and related equipment, and 
        has used the United States military in such a way that today it 
        is straining under the weight of the war.
            (4) The justifications cited by the President for using 
        military force against Iraq--that Iraq possessed weapons of 
        mass destruction and Iraq had links to al Qaeda--have not, to 
        date, been proven correct.
            (5) On May 1, 2003, the President announced the end of 
        major combat operations in Iraq, thus starting an entirely new 
        phase--the occupation of Iraq.
            (6) The justifications cited by the President for using 
        military force against Iraq have shifted dramatically since 
        Congress passed the Authorization for Use of Military Force 
        Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243), from 
        combating the threat that Saddam Hussein allegedly posed to the 
        United States, to establishing an Iraqi democracy, and to a 
        larger vision of Middle Eastern democracy.
            (7) Public Law 107-243 authorized the President to use 
        force to ``defend the national security of the United States 
        against the continuing threat posed by Iraq''.
            (8) Currently, United States troops are not facing a 
        military force or direct threat to the United States in Iraq, 
        rather they are facing both a Sunni insurgency against the 
        United States occupation of Iraq and a violent, long-standing 
        struggle between Sunni and Shia Islam on the streets of 
        Baghdad--neither of which pose a ``continuing threat'' to the 
        United States.
            (9) Public Law 107-243 clearly reflected the President's 
        policies of preemption and unilateralism that have left the 
        United States with an open-ended and ill-defined occupation of 
        a country in the middle of a civil war.
            (10) The President's policies of preemption and 
        unilateralism that led the United States into Iraq now leave 
        the United States with no clear exit strategy from Iraq.
            (11) The escalation of the use of military force in Iraq 
        continues the retreat from long-held United States policies of 
        diplomacy, deterrence, and containment.

SEC. 2. REPEAL OF PUBLIC LAW 107-243.

    The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution 
of 2002 (Public Law 107-243) is hereby repealed.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) Congress should vote on a new authorization for use of 
        force resolution that--
                    (A) reflects the current situation in Iraq;
                    (B) abandons the Bush Doctrine of preemption and 
                unilateralism; and
                    (C) realigns United States policy with its long-
                held engagement priorities of diplomacy, deterrence, 
                and containment;
            (2) the United States should establish a quick-reaction 
        United States military force with an over-the-horizon presence 
        in the region to respond as needed to imminent security threats 
        in the Middle East;
            (3) the United States should enhance and intensify 
        diplomatic relations that will provide the proper external 
        environment and support for the difficult internal steps that 
        the Government of Iraq should take to promote national 
        reconciliation;
            (4) the United States should increase efforts to engage all 
        neighboring countries and the League of Arab States in 
        promoting stability in Iraq;
            (5) the United States should maintain its commitment to 
        continue to provide humanitarian and reconstruction assistance 
        in Iraq;
            (6) the United States should redirect diplomatic, economic, 
        and military support to Afghanistan, where the Taliban 
        continues to destabilize the region; and
            (7) the United States should aggressively pursue Osama Bin 
        Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda and other terrorist 
        organizations that continue to pose an imminent threat to the 
        United States.
Output: Repeals P.L. 107-243 (Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002).
