You could say that but I think you'd be 180 degrees from the truth. I hear that statement as "Stand up. Don't be afraid. There's nothing out there. It's ok, you're just scared."
GWB "pimps fear". WMDs. Yellowcake. Nukyular Islamofacists. Most of all "Them."
GWB points over there and says "that's scary". FDR pointed at the American people and said "there's nothing to be scared of".
Big difference.
