As far as I know, the Bush Doctrine is the stuff about the global war on terror and that state sponsors of terror are our enemies. Gibson’s definition does not jibe with the traditional definitions of doctrines. The Truman Doctrine, for instance, did not go beyond containing the expanse of communism; it did not tell us at what point we were justified in messing with a burgeoning communist country.
silly me ... i thought the Bush Doctrine, simply stated was, “if you aren’t with us, you’re against us.”
