Bush in repeat mode:

EYES:

16 June, 2001 - with Vladimir Putin
"I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straight forward and trustworthy and we had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul."

13 Jun 2006 - with Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki
I've come to not only look you in the eye, I've also come to tell you that when America gives its word, it will keep its word ...

(No word yet on the status of Maliki's soul.)

ACCOMPLISHING MISSIONS:

1 May 2003 - on the USS Abraham Lincoln
... our nation has a mission: We will answer threats to our security, and we will defend the peace.



13 June 2006 - speaking to troops in Iraq
The mission that you're accomplishing here in Iraq will go down in the history books as an incredibly important moment in the history of freedom and peace; an incredibly important moment of doing our duty to secure our homeland.
