I think it was a stroke of genius that she didn’t just jump right in and start talking about the “Bush Doctrine.”

It sort of blows a whole in Obama’s theory of “four more years of Bush.”

Thank you Mr. Krauthammer and thank YOU for posting.

Gibson came across as exactly what he is...a pompous ass who has not been elected, but who feels he somehow holds the mantle to vet people for the rest of us according to his own interpretations and positions.

Mots major media anchors and journalists are infected with this same disease.

Because of their obvious bias, I quit listening to them as a source of information upon which I could use to make decisions for myself. Quite frankly, their information is so tainted that it is useless in that regard.

Now I search and study thinks out on my own from the sources I can find on the internet and elsewhere so I can come to my own decisions...which is how it should be.

To hell with Charlie Gibson and the others and their pompous attitudes. Reminds me of our founders and their disdain for the King and his minions.

"No King but King Jesus!"

As it is, they will not lay a hand on Sarah. ANd that's because of something the left and the elite cannot comprehend and are blind to.

Sarah connects with everyday people. She was mother who wanted to make a difference in her community and joined the PTA and it went from there. She didn't need an ivy league degree in Political Science, she didn't need a law degree, she didn’t need rich connections, she just needed honesty, integrity, her faith, and a desire to serve.

She didn't seek wealth, power, or high position...it just happened and that connects with most Americans of all stripes (outside of the leftists and elitists whom she threatens) who in their hearts want to try and help their communities and improve things for their kids.

SARAH PALIN TRUMPS OBAMA-BIDEN

Charlie spent eight years fawning over the likes of Hillary and Bill....they could tell as many outrageous lies as they wanted to and Charles Gibson let them. Gibson was sent to assassinate Sarah Palin and he failed as miserably to do this hit job as he failed to fool those of us who reconized his dishonest stroking of the Clintons for all those years.

Why so many trust this man with their news is a mystery to me.

I would have thought the “Bush Doctrine” was what he stated in his second inaugural address (per http://www.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/20/bush.speech/index.html):
“It is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.” In regards to the lessons of 9/11 he stated: “We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion: The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.” Bush called the quest for freedom “the urgent requirement of our nation’s security, and the calling of our time.”

Is there one site that publishes all of Krauthammer’s work? I am becoming a huge fan of his and would like to avoid coming across them at random.

Thanks, all.

When the US military uses the Bush Doctrine/preemption, as in the sequence of deterrence, prevention, and then preemption, preemption has a very definite meaning and gets legally scrutinized.

Charlie Gibson is a disgrace. He acted like a prosecutor interrogating a criminal. A sneering, scowling, hostile interviewer. No wonder she seemed to be on the defensive.
I’ll never watch ABC News again.

Why doesn’t he just tell the truth, “I’M A SCREAMING LIBERAL, I HATE CONSERVATIVES, AND I ESPECIALLY HATE SARAH PALIN, AND I WANT TO DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO DEFEAT THE REPUBLICAN TICKET!”

[CRBDeuce]

That was cerainly my first impression ( stated elsewhere), not that the author was the originator, but that there is no “The Bush Doctrine”....certainly not like there was a Carter Doctrine (Depose the Shah), or a Clinton Doctrine (Oral sex isn’t sex)! There are of course several Bush doctrines...lower taxes, you’re either with us or against us, etc, as pointed out in this great article.

[TheThinker]

She responded, quite sensibly to a question that is ambiguous, "In what respect, Charlie?"

This shows how smart Palin is and she continues to earn my respect above any other politician I can think of.

[Hardastarboard]

I’ve always thought “the Bush Doctrine” was liberal code for “bad foreign policy” (in their demented minds).
