Why doesn't he just say "excuse me, I'll be back in 5 minutes."

He was in a meeting with other world leaders discussing the future of the UN, so it would have been inappropriate to just get up and walk out. Typical decorum in this sort of situation would have had an intermediary (probably Rice) deliver a message to the discussion moderator requesting a break. The reason why wouldn't have been specified to the moderator, but upon receipt of the message he or she would have declared a 15-30 minute break.

It's important that the entire discussion end when ANY leader leaves, so that important agreements aren't reached in their absence.

Why doesn't he just say "excuse me, I'll be back in 5 minutes,so I can go barf after listening to the RATs on the Judicial Committee trying to destroy CJ Roberts.
