I'd like to thank you and Neocon for your kind explication of our president's statements.
I can do it, too! It's immaterial that we can do it, in fact if we couldn't figure out roughly, at least, what our leader was trying to get at when he uttered strings of words, it would be very strange indeed; but it does give you and me and Neocon an opportunity to show we are of normal intelligence, so I'll do some, too:
"You saw the president yesterday. I thought he was very forward-leaning, as they say in diplomatic nuanced circles."
This is his way of saying he is sick of the standard locutions in common use in state of the art diplomacy.
"We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease."—Gothenburg, Sweden, June 14, 2001
This means that Africa is a nation seriously affected by disease, and so the agenda devoted a good deal of time to that problem.
"I think if you know what you believe, it makes it a lot easier to answer questions. I can't answer your question."—
This means that if he knew what he believed, it would... no, it means that he knows what he believes, but that he... no, it means that he knows what he believes and can answer the question, but just not right now because he has to go to the bathroom.
See? I can do it, too. |
