The Bush administration is developing a new strategic doctrine that moves away from the Cold War pillars of containment and deterrence toward a policy that supports preemptive attacks against terrorists and hostile states with chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.

Great development if true. Look for Powell to sabotage it.

I don't have money. ~~~ Help with the fundraiser. Bump the threads, ping your FRiends.

I've got too many other things to do first. ~~~ Don't we all?
I can't contribute much, what's five dollars. ~~~ If everyone contributed one dollar a month, we'd never have a fundraiser again.

I just watched part of a speech by Cheney on this subject. Compelling.

Powell will do no such thing. As secretary of state it's his job to put a diplomatic face on everything the administration does. This crap about him being at odds with Bush is absurd and I'm sick of seeing it.

His life was as a soldier and it would be against his nature to go against any decision made by his President. He retired and walked away from being head of the joint chiefs because of his distain for Clinton and he never would have taken his present job if he disagreed with Bush on policy.

Quit believing the BS planted in the NYT and Wash. Post by the Clintonistas.
