my view is Bush is over compensating to hide a deep desire to be a nice guy.
If you look at his pre-9/11 stance compared to his post-9/11 stance. . . .and more importantly the transition. What I saw was a man completely caught off-guard, realizing he would have to be a hard-nosed leader, and bring some big-assed fight to the terrorist threat.
So, now, if he gets too much praise for warring, he will conclude 'hey, this war really pleases people.' (potentially . . Its hard to say. . .like you said; "open to interpretation" . . ah, crap, agreeing with you, this has got to stop. . .something must be wrong with me)
