World leaders, Democrats deride president’s address as too little, too late
NEW YORK, Sept. 23 — President Bush came under heavy criticism both at home and abroad after he rejected a speedy transfer of power to Iraqis during his speech Tuesday at the United Nations. Bush urged other nations to share the burden in Iraq, but world leaders and nearly all his Democratic presidential rivals accused Bush of being responsible for the postwar difficulties in bypassing the United Nations to launch the war that ousted Saddam Hussein.
