Bush como ainda não o tínhamos visto

George Bush admitiu ter errado ao usar expressões como "Wanted, Dead or Alive" e "Bring 'em on". Foi citado pelo blog Regret the error, que descobri, mais uma vez, no Ponto Media.

Sobre o "Wanted, Dead or Alive":
"I don't know if you'd call it a regret, but it certainly is a lesson that a president must be mindful of, that the words that you sometimes say. ... I speak plainly sometimes, but you've got to be mindful of the consequences of the words. So put that down. I don't know if you'd call that a confession, a regret, something."

Sobre o "Bring 'em on"
"Sometimes, words have consequences you don't intend them to mean...Bring 'em on' is the classic example, when I was really trying to rally the troops and make it clear to them that I fully understood, you know, what a great job they were doing. And those words had an unintended consequence. It kind of, some interpreted it to be defiance in the face of danger. That certainly wasn't the case."
