Before and after Bush's address, foreign leaders used the same podium to take shots at Bush's policy of preemptively striking at emerging threats, calling such actions an attempt to discredit the United Nations and undermine international cooperation……

U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, in an unusually impassioned condemnation of U.S. policy, said unilateralism is an assault on the cooperative principles of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and those who founded the United Nations that could spread the "lawless use of force."…..
Bush….did not sit in the chamber for Annan's address….

Addressing the assembly after Bush, Chirac strongly criticized the notion of preemptive attacks: "In an open world, no one can live in isolation, no one can act alone in the name of all, and no one can accept the anarchy of a society without rules."….

Just before Chirac addressed the assembly, Bush and his top aides -- Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John D. Negroponte -- left the hall. Chirac sat with the French delegation during Bush's speech and politely applauded. “

Is THIS how you ask the United Nations for support ???
