Because to a redneck whether or not you have justification to invade a country or not is not an issue. Of course she believes in invading countries for no valid reason. The're not Americans after all. Hell they aren't even white or christian, and they have funny names.Originally posted by conmcb25
I am really kind of surprised none of you loonie lefties have hit on the fact that it appears that Palin had no idea what the "Bush Doctrine" was. The whole preemption thing.
That hit me like a ton of bricks and I find it hard to believe that the Rep VP candidate wouldn't know what that was, it being such a fundamental change and a big part of the reason why Bush has dealt with the world the way he has since shortly after 911I drank beer.

(a) I, too, had never heard preemption referred to as the "Bush Doctrine."
(b) Because preemption was not a fundamental change in anything. It's long been permissible to go to launch an attack if another country is about to attack you. The only thing different,, is apparently someone is now calling it the Bush Doctrine.
BTW: In 1980, there was a Star Trek board game, my favorite scenario of which was a preemptive attack by the Enterprise against a Klingon dreadnought and two destroyers.Comment

I'd say the most striking thing is that she didn't seem to realise that we attacked Iraq after being told that they were going to attack us and it was all just bull****.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

I didn't say the U.S. I said it was a well known doctrine. Just because WE'VE never used it before, doesn't make it a new doctrine.Originally posted by conmcb25

Edit: I thought it was even written into the U.N. Charter, but if it were there, it'd be in Article 51, and it just isn't. A nation needs to be attacked before it can resort to self defense.Last edited by Zkribbler; September 12, 2008, 19:57.Comment

One thing I should bring up is this, which I agree with. The 'Bush Doctrine' can be interpreted to mean different policies, so I will give Palin a pass on her initial answer, but once Gibson specified he meant the preemptive policies Bush pursues, then it would have been nice to hear a more to-the-point yes or no.Comment

Let's bomb Iran. And then Russia for good measure.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment
