I'm Behind the Curve

I know that President Bush's big speech to the U.N. was last week, and that this is this week, but I'm still going to point you to a good analysis of the speeh by Fred Kaplan (at MSNBC.COM).

"he [President Bush] cited only three areas in which the role of the United Nations (or any other nations) should be expanded: writing an Iraqi constitution, training a new corps of civil servants, and supervising elections. None of these notions is new.

Otherwise, Bush’s message can be summarized as follows: The U.S.-led occupation authority is doing good work in Iraq; you should come help us; if you don’t, you’re on the side of the terrorists.
"

President Bush should smarten up a little bit, I'm afraid. And get real.
