1. He does seem to be insisting on a "nuanced" view of the world
all of a sudden, with inextricable connections between different distant nations and shades of gray predominating over Manichean black and white.
Maybe though, it's just shades of green that he sees, not gray.

2. He Has A Pre-9/11 Mindset!
He was against it before he was for it, or rather, was ignorant of the whole deal before he was for it...

4. As if he were doing a skit parodying Kerry
The only explanation for Bush going all French on us is that he's actually performing a parody skit of how a French wimp like Kerry would have handled things:

"And then, then Kerry sez, 'but we gotta show the arabs we love em by letting em run our ports', heh, heh, and he sez, 'So what if there were some, uh, CONTACTS with some Al KI-da back in 2001', heh heh heh."

But no, it's Bush all of the sudden being what the "let god sort them out" crowd feared, and worse.

7. Bush French...please do not insult those lovely ex-friends. After
all Bush could never act French, as he told Blair, the trouble with the French is that they do not have a word for "entrepeneur."
