Wat is er mis met die fragmenten, buiten het feit dat één op niks slaat
slaat nergens op...
't Zat vol typo's , niet te doen, tis waar, maar ik had een tam moment, zeker.
Ik had een meer degelijke link moeten gebruiken.
"Wat er mis mee is met die fragmenten?"
Hoe interpreteert u een persconferentie van Bush? Waarom zou elke zin die ik neerschreef iets "mis" moeten voorstellen? Enkele quotes zeggen weinig tot niks, andere raken gevoelige punten, maar schetsen samen wel een beeld, als ge iet of wat interesse hebt zoekt ge zelf een link naar het volledige transcript (dat ik hier niet post, want wie leest dat ?) of een meer degelijk verslag.
Om te vervolledigen :
She also said that she did not trust the polls at all, because polls that reveal the president's low approval rating "are not what we we when we travel around the country." She added: "As I told you before, you don't see good polls on the front page."
Volledige correcte versie :
G. BUSH: Interesting way to put it. It's hard to hide from the win-loss column, but in baseball -- I am -- first of all, I believe in what we're doing, and I know I made decisions -- I fully understand people don't agree with some decisions I make. But I'm confident that -- that -- I look back at this. I say, you know, you made your decisions based on what you thought was right and on principles.
KING: When the polls are bad, doesn't that affect you emotionally?
G. BUSH: No.
KING: Doesn't it hurt to say more people are -- don't like what I'm doing than like what I'm doing?
G. BUSH: Well...
KING: Does it bother you?
L. BUSH: Not really. I mean, the polls are just...
KING: But it's a sign.
L. BUSH:
It's a sign, but it's not necessarily really what we see. I mean, when we travel around the country, when we visit with people, that's not what we hear all the time. When they're good polls -- I think I told you this the last time I interviewed with you, you don't see them on the front page.
Ze gelooft polls niet, en houdt er geen rekening mee. <--> Er zijn geen goede polls in de kranten. We hebben meer goede polls nodig.
- Ik denk dat hier een naam voor bestaat?
--Bush said he felt "great" to be 60.
- Tof om te horen, niks meer, niks minder.
--He defended the decision to invade Iraq and vowed to stay there until victory was won. This could be a long fight but he said, "I want to remind our citizens that I went with the Japanese prime minister to Graceland -- and we were at war with Japan 60 years ago."
- Hier is toch wel iets mis mee, denk ik? De exacte quote:
"I just want to remind our fellow citizens that I went to Graceland with Prime Minister Koizumi. Sixty years ago, Japan was the enemy of the United States. And the reason why I was now able to work with Koizumi to keep the peace and to go to Graceland to honor Elvis, was because Japan adopted a different style of government."
- Gebakken lucht + De oorlog, en dan Japan specifiek (Pearl Harbour) erbij halen is wel erg gedurfd, als je het vanuit deze hoek hier, bekijkt.
--Asked why the U.S. faced so many problems in the world, Bush said, "The reasons there are problems is because we confronted them."
LOL, deze zegt letterlijk : Jep, we dagen ze uit, en dan gaan we het afhandelen ($$$$$ verdienen, kost wat kost (zolang het geen geld is)).
Deze quote kwam uit deze context :
KING: We're back with President Bush and Laura Bush at the White House in the Blue Room on this, the occasion of his 60th birthday.
This quote from William Kristol in the "Weekly Standard" -- North Korea is firing missiles. Iran is going nuclear. Somalia is controlled by radical Islamists. Iraq isn't getting better. Afghanistan is getting worse. I give the president a lot of credit for hanging tough in Iraq, but I'm worried that it has made them too passive in confronting other threats.
In other words, so much in Iraq that the rest of the world is getting short-tripped.
G. BUSH: Completely disagree. The United States is in the lead in solving a lot of problems. We're obviously in the lead when it comes to Iraq. We're helping a coalition of NATO allies in Afghanistan. And we've, we're working with, you know, the multi-party talks for Iran and North Korea. In other words, we've laid the foundation and the framework necessary to achieve, you know, common goals. We're leading an effort of other nations.
You know, some people say well, America's unilateral in nation. Quite the contrary. We set up multilateral frameworks to solve these problems. Problems don't get solved overnight, but this government has got enough capacity and enough talent to deal with many of the problems at the same time.
KING: Do you ever feel that it's all coming in around you?
G. BUSH: No, I don't. I do this...
KING: Because it's been said that no president has had to face, maybe with the exception of Roosevelt with Depression and World War II, what you faced at the same time, domestically and...
G. BUSH: No. That's not how I look at life. I look at life as a series of opportunities to make this world a better place. One reason there's a problem is we've confronted them. The status quo was unacceptable to me. And therefore, it's important to deal with problems before they become acute.
