I have stated earlier---in another place---that this may well have been a "gotcha" question since I doubt that GWB ever considered a "doctrine". Leave alone the meaning of the word. Do you think he knows what the Monroe Doctrine was?

After it was explained to pistol packin mama her response was---as all the others---boiler plate bordering on total incoherence of the topic. After all---here is a candidate who just got a passport, has not met any world leaders, has no experience in foreign policy (other than--as she says--being Russia's neighbor_ and says she will not blink when asked about thoughts on Russia, Georgia, etc;(which I suppose reads---blast 'em).

As to PDQ---I don't know the term you refer to. But, being a Bush supporter, one has to ask you a few questions--just the titles--all else is self-explanatory:

1) Economy
2) Loss of life of our young (and being maimed)
3) Stretching our Armed Forces to the limits that put us at risk at home
4) Constitunial abrogations
5) There are so many more---more than ever in the history of this nation
