Holy crap. She thinks we could go to war with Russian over Georgia, she seems to welcome a war between Iran/Israel/and the U.S., and she evidently has no fucking clue what the "Bush Doctrine" is.....
YouTube - Sarah Palin Fails The Bush Doctrine Test
Haven't read the rest of the thread...probably a waste of time...
The simple fact is...there is no such thing as a "Bush Doctrine".....thus Palins answer or lack of what you lefties think is the correct answer....
The "Bush doctrine" is a figment of left wing MSM propaganda....Yet, according to the Washington Post there are several Bush doctrines....
Its crap.....

Gibson : "The Bush doctrine, as I understand it, is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense, that we have the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us.
But Gibson was making a common error, and what Palin said in her response did not actually address what was so radical about Bush's contribution to American foreign policy. Preemption has in fact been a staple of our foreign policy for ages -- and other countries' as well.
If thats so, then its not the "Bush Doctrine" at all...the MSM just re-defines what it means at will...
The twist Bush put on it was embracing "preventive" war: Taking action well before an attack was imminent -- invading a country that was simply perceived as threatening.
And they continue....
And to be completely accurate, there have been several Bush Doctrines over the years. Another dramatic announcement, you may recall, was his declaration on Sept. 20, 2001: "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime." (Or, as he put it on Feb. 11, 2002: "You're either with us or against us; you're either evil or you're good."
