Well, McCain knows exactly what the Bush doctrine is, and supports it.
This reckless moron is going to bankrupt the country fighting more pointless wars.

Charlie Gibson’s three-part interview (video) with Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin last week scored big in the ratings, reports trade pub Broadcasting & Cable ...
The portion of the interview that created the most buzz was Gibson’s “gotcha” line of questioning on the Bush Doctrine that Palin gamely parried as she tried to figure out what, exactly, he was asking her to comment on until Gibson clarified his question with what turned out to be an incomplete explanation of the Bush Doctrine ...
Amazingly, the most sympathetic reactions to Palin’s predicament over the Bush Doctrine came from Dem operatives and pundits not known to be favorably disposed towards conservatives. ...
[I]f you go back and re-read Palin’s answers, she was clearly feeling her way through Gibson’s faulty premise to try to answer his question best she could – but not because she knew any less about the Bush Doctrine than her interviewer. Her first instinct to maneuver Gibson into being more specific was perfectly understandable, and her first answer to his first attempt at clarifying his inscrutable question - “his world view” - was actually dead-on.

It was mentioned at the time that the McCain campaign gave the first interview to Gibson because he is the most even-handed
Aauch! If Gibson was thought to be the most “even-handed”, God help us when the rest of the Obama-bowing syncophants in the media “interview” Palin next.
Gibson is very, very popular/trustworthy with the senior citizens
>after all our own State Department isn’t with us
Sadly this is so true.
Maybe one of the very talented researchers on FR can answer these:
Who first used the term “Bush Doctrine?”
When?
In what medium/publication/speech/etc. ?
And in what context?
If you read the full post (not just the excerpt I put up) the answer is there. ; )
I'm not aware of any pointless wars we are fighting. :::shrug:::
