Gephardt Attacks Bush 'Unilateralism'
2 hours, 47 minutes ago

By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer

SAN FRANCISCO - Democratic presidential candidate Dick Gephardt (news - web sites) on Tuesday issued a blistering criticism of the Bush administration's "chest-beating unilateralism" in its handling of the Iraq (news - web sites) war, which he said weakened diplomatic alliances and squandered global goodwill following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

"Foreign policy isn't a John Wayne movie, where we catch the bad guys, hoist a few cold ones and then everything fades to black," Gephardt said in remarks prepared for a speech to the Bar Association of San Francisco. "No matter the surge of momentary machismo — as gratifying as it may be for some — it is shortsighted and wrong to simply go it alone."
