I am glad someone here noticed this and pointed it out.
He is definitely endorsing the Bush doctrine here.
I have a rather bipartisan foreign policy theory about presidents. They will always do exactly the opposite of what they promise to do on foreign policy.
Clinton promised to get tough with China. He sold us out to them.
Bush promised not to do nation building. He was a huge nation builder.
Obama promised to get us out of wars. He will continue and increase wars.
There is a practical necessary logic to all of these developments. I think it is becoming true with Obama.
So basically....we are saying that the Bush Doctrine got the Nobel Peace Prize? Is that what we are really saying here?
