PR Savvy

From The Guardian:
To some it may come as too little too late. But setting out on his final trip to Europe as president, George Bush has expressed regret that his rhetoric in the run-up to the war in Iraq may have created the impression that he was a warmonger.

[...]

The phrases he used to win support for the war such as "bring 'em on" and "dead or alive" he said, "indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace."

Sure, your rhetoric might have created that impression. But actually starting an unprovoked war kinda confirmed to us that you're a, you know, warmonger.
