Senator John F. Kerry said yesterday that President Bush committed a ''breach of trust'' in the eyes of many United Nations members by going to war with Iraq, creating a diplomatic chasm that will not be bridged as long as Bush remains in office.
''What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States,'' Kerry said in a speech at the Peterborough Town Library.
Despite pledging two weeks ago to cool his criticism of the administration once war began, Kerry unleashed a barrage of criticism as US troops fought within 25 miles of Baghdad.
Kerry's criticism seems to be that Bush didn't leave the question of American sovereignty to the United Nations. Kerry is proposing that American national security can only be decided by non-Americans.
How will this protect us from terrorism? What does this say about the kind of “leader” he wants to be? How can President Kerry honestly take the oath of office to protect this nation if he plans to punt everything to the U.N.?
