What did our beloved President mean by this, do you suppose?

From Bush's talk last week to conservative pundits:

It's interesting to watch the reaction to the world the other day when a Japanese official announced that perhaps they should think about developing a nuclear weapon. Let me just say, it got a lot of people's attention.

Is our Dear Leader saying that he is encouraging the Japanese to get nuclear weapons? You really have to wonder what he's thinking sometimes.

Or this, on the Iraq War:

A lot of people – one time I – well, a lot of people are just saying, you're not doing enough to win. We're not winning, you're not doing enough to win, and I'm frustrated, I want it over with, with victory. And I'm trying to figure out a matrix that says things are getting better.

"Figure out a matrix" that would say that "things are getting better"? Isn't he just telling us he's trying to think up new ways to scam us about the state of affairs in Iraq? What else could that mean? Not that it's any surprise.

Or this, in which he associates our current position in Iraq with another situation closer to home:

That's that arc that [Gen.] Casey talks about, about how fast do you push, push them out without us, but if you push too fast, does it not achieve our objective. First of all, part of this is a brand new experience for these guys. I was with the man from the Dominican Republic, President Fernandez, and we were talking about Cuba. And he said, just remember it takes a while for democracy to take hold. And I said, yes, okay, no kidding. We're used to it.

Now it's perfectly normal for the President to be talking to the president of the Dominican Republic about the future of Cuba. But you have to wonder just how what he's discussing with him relates to what the US is doing right now in Iraq.

Inquiring minds want to know. (Does anyone recognize that any more as an old slogan of the National Inquirer, which by FOX News standards looks like a sober and sensible news source?)
