Why does Palin speak with a Canadian accent?

Oops I forgot to mention that you are correct, the Monroe Doctine is significantly different from the Bush Doctine in that it contains only THREE enunciated ideas, UNLESS you want to lump in the Roosevelt Corollary which SOME historians do.

The three major areas of concern in the Monroe doctrine deal with European Colonization in the Americas, Non-intervention in European problems unless they are our problems too or cause us problems, and the right to use force on any European attempt at colonizing the America's. The last of which was expounded on by Teddy Roosevelt, not FDR. So you are right, they are different, but they do have multiple parts. Thus endeth the lesson.

Yes I have. And several articles have been written on the Bush Doctrine OUTSIDE of Krauthammer (who by the by used the term in February or 2001, a full 7 months before 9-11 changed everything." Out of the National Security Strategy (hereinafter "The Document") you will find there are FOUR points which are the core of the BUSH DOCTRINE. They are Preemption, Military Primacy, New Multilateralism, and the Spread of Democracy. Now if Palin KNEW ANY of these she could have said to Charlie, well I am in complete agreement with president bush that we have the right to engage in regime change when Dictatorships in the world support those who would attack us." But she didn't. She could have said "well Chaarrrlie, I agree with the president that we should act in concert with our allies when we can, but we are not to be held hostage by a devout acceptance of Multilaterlism. We can, if the situation calls for it, act Unilaterally in protecting our security and interests". But she didn't.

She could have said, "Well Chaarrrrlie, When it comes to regime change, I, like president bush agree, that Democracy is not America's gift to the world but God's gift to Humanity." BUT SHE DIDN'T.

Instead she looked on in blank, unknowing suprise, and said nothing. But you are right, it is because there is really NO Bush doctrine.

The National Security Strategy of 2002, is not "THE Bush Doctrine" and your continued insistence it is, doesn't matter. As you have pointed out, and I have been saying all along, the "Bush Doctrine" has several aspects, and it's not unreasonable to think a person like Sarah Palin, might not agree with all of them, or may have different opinions on each of them. It is also not unreasonable or unrealistic to expect her to ask her interviewer for clarification on what aspect he means, which her interviewer never specifically stated. This doesn't mean she doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is, it means the interviewer doesn't know it has various aspects. Now, perhaps you should go apply for Gibson's job, since you seem to be so well informed. Maybe you would have been able to clarify what was meant, but Charlie didn't, and this is not up to the interviewee to determine.

Duhla: This thread is great.

Glad you're enjoying it. I think it's good for you to take a break from giving blowjobs to actually become more educated.
