LOL
My, that's convenient.. Charles Krauthammer gets to coin the phrase and then dismiss it when it's inconvenient for Sarah Palin.
Sorry, Charley. Too late.
America's Age of Empire: The Bush Doctrine --
"On September 20, the Bush administration published a national security manifesto overturning the established order. Not because it commits the United States to global intervention: We've been there before. Not because it targets terrorism and rogue states: Nothing new there either. No, what's new in this document is that it makes a long-building imperial tendency explicit and permanent. The policy paper, titled "The National Security Strategy of the United States of America" -- call it the Bush doctrine -- is a romantic justification for easy recourse to war whenever and wherever an American president chooses." The Bush Doctrine: War without anyone's permission. Three Cheers for the Bush Doctrine
The Bush Doctrine,
The National Security Strategy of the United States of America, Sept. 2002
"And America will hold to account nations that are compromised by terror, including those who harbor terrorists — because the allies of terror are the enemies of civilization. The United States and countries cooperating with us must not allow the terrorists to develop new home bases." "And, as a matter of common sense and self-defense, America will act against such emerging threats before they are fully formed." "Finally, the United States will use this moment of opportunity to extend the benefits of freedom across the globe. We will actively work to bring the hope of democracy, development, free markets, and free trade to every corner of the world." Quote:

Quote by: maximdewinter The Bush Doctrine ( what others said it was, certainly nothing George Bush ever said it was) morphed 4 times over the years into expanded meanings the wiki piece includes. |
No doubt it's morphed
... having decisively failed time and time again.
