Krauthammer clarifies Bush doctrine
There are 4 distinct philosophies that have been known as the Bush Doctrine, all labeled as such by the press, none formalized and presented as Doctrines by President Bush himself. Only two Presidents have done that, Monroe and Truman .
Charles Krauthammer gets paid by the word. I don’t get paid at all for this stuff so I can afford to use few words and save you some time. However,
Charles laid it out very well , listing them as:
1 American unilateralism, exemplified by withdrawal from the ABM treaty and unapologetic rejection of the Kyoto agreement.
2 You are for us or against us, following the WTC attack.
3 Pre-emptive action can be justifiable in the current era of technological weaponry.
4 Our liberty depends on world liberty.
Poor Sarah was gotcha'd. Too bad no one is gotcha'ing Biden. It would be so easy.
BTW, did you know it is Joe Biden who is Sarah Palin's counterpart, not Barack Obama ?
Abraham Lincoln clarifies Palin prayer
It has been said that Palin prayed for God to be on our side, but Palin prayed that we would be on God’s side.
Not to be diminished those same sayers said ‘what’s the difference?’. Honest Abe responded to a similar canard by saying “the difference is like the difference between a horse chestnut and a chestnut horse”.
