“Diplomacy works when people sit down at the table and need something from you. That’s how diplomacy works.”
That would have come under "got you over a barrel" or "holding the purse strings" in my dictionary. But his is different. I understand that.
Bush also ascribes the phrase that all men are created equal, contained in our Declaration of Independence, to Abraham Lincoln. Of course, he considers the Constitution of the United States to be an obstacle to his own high ideals, so it's really no wonder he's a little fuzzy about the foundations of his country. (He only knows that it's "his", whether you agree to call him King or not. In fact, in his dictionary, president of the US is defined as the man who makes all the decisions - for the world, actually.)
Furthermore he has a "strong belief that freedom is universal" (unless he has already declared you an enemy noncombatant in the light of his fuzzy judgment).
You really should read the entire W3IAI post. You'll be amazed, even though you are thinking you cannot ever again be amazed at the astounding incomprehensibility of the Boy Who Would Be King.
“You can’t make your decisions, however, based on something that just changes; it just, poof.”
Take it up with the Pope, dude.
