:wtf: is up with the incessant "TV screen" allusions in his "speeches"?


Today during his "regret" fest with Tony Blair--May 25, 06:

...No question that the Iraq war has, you know, created a sense of consternation here in America. I mean, when you turn on your TV screen and see innocent people die day in and day out, it affects the mentality of our country.


Remarks to the U.S. University Presidents Summit on International Education from Dept. of State website--date scrubbed:

And it's hard work. What you're seeing on your TV screen is hard work. But we've done, as Condi said, hard work before. We have defeated fascism in the past. We defeated communism in the past. And we will defeat this ideology of hatred. But it's going to take all the tools at our disposal.


Press conference December 2004, from White House website:

You know, polls change, Dave. Polls go up. Polls go down. I can understand why people -- they're looking on your TV screen and seeing indiscriminate bombing where thousands of innocent, or hundreds of innocent Iraqis are getting killed, and they're saying whether or not we're able to achieve the objective. What they don't see are the small businesses starting; 15 of the 18 provinces are relatively stable, where progress is being made; life is better now than it was under Saddam Hussein. And so there is -- there are very hopeful signs.


To David Gregory during interview at the border May 19th, 2006:

war unsettles people. Listen, we’ve got a great economy. We’ve added 5.2 million jobs in the last two-and-a-half years, but people are unsettled. They don’t look at the economy and say, 'life is good.' They know we’re at war. And I’m not surprised that people are unsettled because of war. The enemy’s got a powerful tool — that is to get on your TV screen by killing innocent people. And my job is to continue to remind the people it’s worth it. We’re not going to retreat hastily. We’re not going to pull out of there before the job’s done and we’ve got a plan for victory.

MSNBC: They’re not just unsettled, sir. They disapprove of the job you’re doing.

BUSH: That’s unsettled.




So people are "unsettled" and what they see on their TV screens "affects the mentality" of this country....

Sounds like he is saying we are all crazy to me.
