Kerry and National Sovereignty

Hugh Hewitt breaks down Kerry's latest blather:

So Kerry denounces the planned turn-over of sovereignty to the Iraqis themselves becayse that sovereignty will not have first passed through a "legitimate international authority." Chew on that for a bit.

Here's a man who wants to lead this nation who repeated claims that our foreign policy must be subject to some mythical international authority. When did we grant the U.N. that authority? Where did this superstition come from? Doesn't he read the news? The U.N. is up to its eyeballs in corruption from its administration of the "Oil for Food" program. Saddam bought off at least two of the permanent members of the Security Council! How does this add up to legitimacy?
