Subject: RE: BS: Sarah Palin Stands Tall for Georgia
From Wikipedia:

"The Bush Doctrine is a *journalistic term* used to describe some foreign policy principles of United States president George W. Bush, enunciated in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Scholars identify *seven different 'Bush Doctrines,'* including the notion that states that harbor terrorists should be treated no differently than terrorists themselves; the willingness to use a 'coalition of the willing' if the United Nations does not address threats; the doctrine of preemptive war; and the president's second-term 'freedom agenda' as outlined in his second Inaugural Address."

The other cheap shot he used was when he asked snottily if "we" have a "right" in "your mind" to enter Pakistan without its permission.

With a little more experience she would have been prepared to tell him he needs to ask intelligible questions, and run circles around him for asking such nonsense. And then even hint that she (if she had some hypotherical authority, e.g. as President) might be willing to work within her Constitutional authority to violate international "law" under *specific circumstances.* (Similarly to McCain saying he would "capture, or shall we say, 'bring to justice,' Osama bin Laden.")
