This "analysis" piece by Dana Milbank, was written before the Bush lecture at the UN. No groveling.

At U.N., Bush Is Cast in the Unfamiliar Role of Playing Defense

By Dana Milbank

When President Bush addresses world leaders at the United Nations today, he will be in an unfamiliar position: on the defensive.

His administration, after deciding a month ago to seek U.N. help in getting more foreign troops and funds for Iraq, quickly concluded that it would not be possible to get the help it needed on the terms it wanted. Thus, instead of hailing a new agreement to cooperate, Bush will defend his actions in Iraq.
