Well, makes sense with Russia firmly announcing nuclear preemptive strike policies.

To be replaced with the new “Preemtive Surrender” policy of the Obama administration.

"The Sept. 11 terrorist strikes prompted Bush to alter U.S. policy by stressing the option of preemptive military action against groups or countries that threaten the U.S. Critics said that breached international norms and set a dangerous precedent for other nations to adopt a similar policy."

B*****, that policy has been in place all over the world for centuries. Who in their right mind would ever give up the right to save lives by acting first???

Idiocy, just plain outright dumb@ss dangerous idiocy...

I always thought it curious to label this as some sort of “doctrine” that Bush came up with out of the blue, rather than what it is - an age-old, strategic reality.

“The international environment is “more complex” than when President George W. Bush announced the policy in 2002, Kathleen Hicks, the Defense Department’s deputy undersecretary for strategy, said in an interview. “We’d really like to update our use-of-force doctrine to start to take account for that.”

No, Kathleen, the world is NOT more complex! It is simply that this administration is more cowardly and has no conviction regarding it’s CONSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY to PROTECT AND DEFEND!!!

Right, a vicious America hating country that wants to attack America (like Japan WWII, Al Queda, etc) will now not attack us because they know we can’t strike first???

What absolute dangerous nonsense.

In war, one side always preempts the other. Why do we have to be on the short end of the stick?
