no, it's not implied. Because when a president takes the issue to go to war, he is expected to outline each and every reason for why. When bush took the issue to congress, he did not put "humanitarian mission" at the top of the list. it might have been added in one of the appendixes as an afterthought, but when talking about a vote to go to war, an "implied" reason just isnt good enough.
