The entire premise of the speech is that we should defer to foreign countries on protecting our own interests. We shouldn't. THEY don't defer to US. Who, besides the United States, has ever gone to the UN to request permission to go to war? We've done what we needed to do. It really doesn't matter what the French and Russians have to say -- after all, they were in cahoots with Saddam anyway, actually feeding him information while stonewalling us at the UN. The UN is dead for this purpose. Never, again, should we go to them begging for permission to defend ourselves as we determine necessary. While I have these criticisms of his speech, I think it speaks volumes when you consider the administration he was a key component in -- one of the most fundamentally flawed foreign policy teams in American history (at one point, you could be more definitive in this statement; but today, we also have Clinton's 8 years competing for the "worst" spot).
