Sense of his soul

As you might recall in long ago history, W. was the President of the US of A and was awesome. He was also total bro's with Vladimir Putin, and thus brought peace between the USSR and America. And he did it with the power of being Born Again. W. on Putin:

“I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country.”

You see, once you get a sense of someone's soul, you're best buds, and will totally exchange information regarding TERROR.
