you're right, it was GST who misquoted Bush. Sorry.

And you don't address the substance of your false dichotomy (and Mr. Bush's) at all

I don't see it as a false dichotomy, I see it as a rhetorical device, urging everybody to believe that this is not a problem that they can afford to ignore. I think the device backfired because half the world thinks of Bush as a cowboy. If Clinton had said it (& he might have) it would have come across more subtly.
