WILMINGTON, N.C. - Vice presidential candidate John Edwards gave a sweeping denunciation of the Bush administration's foreign policy Monday, accusing the president of a "failure of leadership" as the Republican National Convention opened in New York City.

"The president called it a miscalculation," Edwards said. "You can call it anything you want, but the truth is, it was a failure of leadership."

Other mistakes, according to Edwards, include going to war without strong allies, waiting for three years after the Sept. 11 attacks to reform intelligence operations, turning its back on Afghanistan, failing to listen to the 9/11 commission, and standing by while North Korea and Iran advanced their nuclear weapons programs.
