Dubya is hoping to kick the UN's rear end and get some action.

This was directed at Germany and France, I believe who said they would veto the 2nd Security Council resolution and then reversed field the next day.

The President wants no more of that..

This was directed at Germany and France,

During WWII, France thought defendng Ethiopia wasn't worth it. It wasn't long before Nazi troops were driving tanks through their neighborhood.
The Germans simply joined the gang.

These two nations have no credibility anyway. I'm sure most people remember Nazi Germany.

Yes, so that's a LOT different than telling the UN to take a flying leap and that we'd go it alone.
