Bush made a speech about the Georgia ceasefire from the Lobby of the CIA. A subliminal warning to KGB Putin?

Question

From my knowledge no President has ever made a speech from the lobby of the CIA.

Was Bush telling Putin, we are not entirely powerless?

When Bush made his announcement that we were invading Afghanistan, through the window behind him kites were being flown. Kite flying was something the Taliban had banned. So he has used subliminal messages before.

Answer 1

I do not think it subliminal...  

I think it was "do not F@#K with us".

It was meant to be seen.

Answer 2

silly move, by doing that he just admitted and accepted the power of Putin (Russia,KGB, but totally reduced his own (Putin is ex-KGB, and it seems like Bush is haunted by nightmares..lol)

Answer 3

I wouldn't call it subliminal at all.  He outright told them.

Answer 4

They must not be too subliminal if you are able to figure out their "secret messages." Y'know, if you run the speech backwards, it says "Don't tempt us."

Answer 5

Speaking from the CIA lobby defiantly sent a message to the Russians that we weren't rolling over. It was not subtle like the kites.

Answer 6

Whats the CIA going to do anyways, spread rumors. This conflict is starting to get to big now, Russia was just responding to what Georgia did, The US thinks Russia is just being a bully, and saying that US cant do anything and were powerless to do anything about it. But Russia never said that we did. Were making our self's look bad not them.
