or just another biased Liberal Obama supporter in the media?


Many Versions of 'Bush Doctrine'

Quote:Palin's Confusion in Interview Understandable, Experts Say

Quote:"In what respect, Charlie?" she replied.

Intentionally or not, the Republican vice presidential nominee was on to something. After a brief exchange, Gibson explained that he was referring to the idea -- enshrined in a September 2002 White House strategy document -- that the United States may act militarily to counter a perceived threat emerging in another country. But that is just one version of a purported Bush doctrine advanced over the past eight years.

Peter D. Feaver, who worked on the Bush national security strategy as a staff member on the National Security Council, said he has counted as many as seven distinct Bush doctrines.

Quote:Sensing his "gotcha" moment, Gibson refused to tell her. After making her fish for the answer, he grudgingly explained to the moose-hunting rube that the Bush doctrine "is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense."

Wrong.

I know something about the subject because, as the Wikipedia entry on the Bush doctrine notes, I was the first to use the term. In the cover essay of the June 4, 2001, issue of The Weekly Standard titled, "The Bush Doctrine: ABM, Kyoto, and the New American Unilateralism," I suggested that the Bush administration policies of unilaterally withdrawing from the ABM treaty and rejecting the Kyoto protocol, together with others, amounted to a radical change in foreign policy that should be called the Bush doctrine.

So much for Palin not being informed on current policies eh Charlie?

Gibson annoys me almost as much as Palin.

I wonder if Gibson would have pulled that on Obama?

I've only heard of the "Bush Doctrine" applied to preemptive war. What else is it applied to?

"Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing."

~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Yes...but...Charlie is not right wing creationist that would use the force of government to stop a rape or incest victim from seeking an abortion.

Exactly, like she did as governor of Alaska.

Oh......wait..........

Very doubtful. But, she should have known what he was talking about. And saying there are at least 7 different Bush doctrines is a cop-out, and political "cover your a$$" tactics at their best.

I may not like the rock-star messiah treatment of Obama, but I'm definitely not too sure about Palin either.

Gibson does this with all his interviews. If she wants to play with the big boys let her do the interviews. It's a sham that she is trying to avoid the media. Presidential politics is tackle baby, not touch.
