He did not "effectively" say his hands were tied. You just posted what would have been a more "effective" what to say it: "My hands are tied yours are not!"

But he never said any of that.

His tone and body language screamed "Leave me alone!" He looked old and tired. I was struck by the flinty sound of his voice. It seams he has aged 20 years since his last public statement, when he spoke with confidence and his voice was much deeper.
