Newsflash for all you right wing retards..........
Obama doesn't have a "doctrine" when it comes to war. He's stated that repeatedly, yet you morons keep squawking about "the Obama doctrine".
No, he doesn't have one, he's not like Bush Jr.

In laying out his justification for the American-led assault on Libya on Monday night, the president offered the most detailed portrait of when he might commit the country’s military might in a tumultuous world.
He would take action, he said, if vital national security interests were at stake. He would consider it if economic interests were threatened, or if there was a humanitarian crisis so deep it could not be ignored. But in those two instances, he would hesitate unless there was international participation, and the cost was not too high.
But these conditions seemed tailor made for Libya, and the president seemed to provide little guidance for what position he would take in other, more vital nations in the region now roiled by an “Arab Spring” of popular uprising. Nor did Mr. Obama’s speech on Monday shed light on whether the president would use force in other trouble spots.
“If there were ever a speech more dedicated to eliminating the idea of a doctrine, this was it,” said David J. Rothkopf, the author of “Running the World: The Inside Story of the National Security Council and the Architects of American Power.” “He basically said, ‘We have American values and they’re going to define us, and we’re going to stick to them — provided it’s not too hard to do so.’ ”
