Palin's ignorance of 'Bush Doctrine' globally observed

timesonline.co.uk — "Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?" she was asked. "In what respect," she replied, "his worldview?" "No, the Bush Doctrine," said the interviewer, "enunciated September 2002, before the Iraq War."

  • amoirae, on 09/12/2008, -3/+6She sounded stunned, as if she expected a softball interview and instead got a blanket party.
  • diggeradoo, on 09/12/2008, -3/+15The Times actually said, "she appeared to be ignorant..." Ouch.

    "Sarah Palin defended herself against charges of inexperience on Thursday, insisting she is ready to serve America as vice-president - but then appeared to be ignorant of the "Bush doctrine" which has defined much of American national security policy in recent years."
  • TalentedMoron, on 09/12/2008, -4/+5Maybe she does not know what is "Doctrine"...lol
  • John_C, on 09/12/2008, -4/+13Flagged as "Possibly Inaccurate" by hyper-sensitive Conservatives in 5... 4... 3... 2...
    • algaeturd, on 09/12/2008, -1/+3'hyper-sensitive conservatives?'
      Try uneducated, misinformed and ignorant.
      Since when has the republican party EVER been sensitive about the truth?
      They trample it like they do every other truth because the facts simply don't fall in line with their train of uneducated thought processes.
  • nopRT, on 09/12/2008, -3/+21She believes it's the obligation of a country to attack another country if they feel threatened, and then she threatens Russia in the same interview? Brilliant.
    • dinot, on 09/12/2008, -1/+4woah. good catch. i totally missed that.
  • mach68, on 09/12/2008, -4/+12This only exemplifies the “Dumbing Down of America”. Talking Points are more important than the root issues. Sarah Palin does not have the worldliness to represent the USA on the world stage. Most of the individuals running countries around the world are highly educated and extremely adept in their chosen arena. I have had the opportunity of living in both North America and Europe. I have travelled extensively throughout the world and I am constantly amazed by how similar “Humanity” is everywhere. Sarah Palin has a pre-conceived and well programmed misconception about our world and that ignorance will be translated in to a major catastrophe if she and McCain are elected in November. What I don’t understand is why the American people cannot see through this veneer.
  • algaeturd, on 09/12/2008, -4/+7The reason for this woman's popularity is simple to explain: stupidity. In one word: stupidity.
    Sure, she's nice enough to be your project manager, your lawyer, your den leader or your avon lady. But ***** VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
    Only an uneducated idiot would want someone this uninformed and this brazenly stupid to take that office. It's AMAZING and speaks volumes about the average republican that they rally around her not because she's 'qualified' (she certainly isn't by any stretch of the imagination) but because they 'like her.' And because 'she's a mom so she's qualified.'
    Americans have reach a new low. Stupidity continues to spread like a virus at breakneck speed through the country.
    I'll say this: Calling this woman unqualified or ignorant could never be libelous because you could prove beyond any shadow of a doubt, in any court in the land, that she truly is both with the evidence presented over the past 2 weeks.
    • aadyss, on 09/13/2008, -5/+0Judging from on high I see. Or perhaps just 'high.'

      "F****** VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?" Did you get that comment from the drunken fishwife manual?
  • EZLA, on 09/13/2008, -7/+5What a bunch of moron's you all are there is no specific Bush doctrine..................Gibson got it wrong! She was right to get him to clarify what he thought that doctrine contained. As to the rocket scientist nopRT................."feel threatened" only liberatoids go by feelings. If there is a eminent threat then we have the right to confront it before it wipes us out.
    • beatle42, on 09/13/2008, -3/+4http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_Doctrine

      "The main elements of the Bush Doctrine were delineated in a National Security Council document, National Security Strategy of the United States, published on September 20, 2002,[5] and this document is often cited as the definitive statement of the doctrine.[8][9][10] The National Security Strategy was updated in 2006.[11]"

      And in case you think wikipedia is unreliable as a source, here's an article about it by the American Enterprise Institute: http://www.aei.org/publications/pubID.15845/pub_de ...
      • Ridgeliner7, on 09/13/2008, -1/+2None were so labeled by Bush.

        You are confusing media-branded, with official policy. To call Palin out on this is intellectually dishonest.
    • IdigObama, on 09/13/2008, -2/+4Bush has foreign policy guidelines.

      Palin didn't have any idea what Charlie was talking about whe he asked her! She didn't know the First thing about them!

      Looks like You got it wrong!
  • flizmo, on 09/13/2008, -4/+5Charlie Gibson even got it wrong when referring to the Bush Doctrine.
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic ...

    "There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings, each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration -- and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today. It is utterly different."
  • GrownupPhan, on 09/13/2008, -4/+5To you idiots claiming there is no official Bush Doctrine, stop by the American Enterprise Institute's website sometime and educate yourselves.
  • Ridgeliner7, on 09/13/2008, -0/+5Karl Rove, who would be accepted as the universal expert here, says he knows of four separate policy pronouncements labeled by the media as "Bush Doctrines" although none were so branded by Bush.
  • dw4prez, on 09/13/2008, -5/+4Bad title. It should read, "Liberals globally found stretching reality in fear of Palin this time on Bush's Doctrine." That coined term is so broad about the only thing not covered in it is if he really eats ding-dong's on Air force one during a time of war.
  • plimpton777, on 09/13/2008, -1/+2Every 5th grader knows that the Bush Doctrine is the rejection of international law, and the unilateral 'right' for the US to act like dicks in general and invade any country that they feel like, for whatever ***** reason.
