Global Test?

Kerry said "The president always has the right ... for preemptive strike ... [but] you have to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you‘re doing what you‘re doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons."

What is he talking about? Bush worded best:

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, "passes the global test," you take preemptive action if you pass a global test. My attitude is you take preemptive action in order to protect the American people, that you act in order to make this country secure.

Again, Kerry shows just how inept he really is. This guy is saying that you have the right to preempt, but only if the world (UN? France?) says it is OK...
