She asked the questioner to be more specific, then answered the specific question.
What I thought she said was:
GIBSON: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?
PALIN: In what respect, Charlie?
GIBSON: The Bush well, what do you interpret it to be?
PALIN: Well Charlie, I prefer to leave it as god intended. Some of my friends like a Brazilian, but Im a simple gal.
GIBSON: No, the Bush doctrine, announced September 2002, before the Iraq War.
PALIN: Hehe, oh Charlie. I dont know much about foreign affairs or our defence policies but my son is going to eye-rack and I can wave to the Russians from home in Alaska.
You're obviously in the tank for Obama as demonstrated by your denial of the actual conversation that took place.
And yet she is being attacked for saying we should do so. Go figure.
Palin is being attacked? Obama was asked the same question on Pakistan and gave basically the same answer. Was he being attacked? The criticism surrounding Palin is that she did not know the basis of her own parties platform on foreign policy not how she answered a question on Pakistan. And that I can't figure. Can you?
Our for policy towards Japan happens to be different than our foreign policy towards Mexico. Our foreign policy regarding nukes is different than our foreign policy towards land mines. She asked him for a clarification---smart woman. Nice try Charlie.
I wasn't addressing the Bush Doctrine in that post you quoted. I was saying that Palin had linked 9/11 and Iraq to soldiers that were about to ship out.
Even Bush no longer does this.
She is bad, bad news and not best for the country. But she is good for polarizing the country and maintaining the politics of fear.
THis is the kind of campaign McCain has decided to run.
Al-Qaeda in Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaAl-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) is a group playing an active role in the Iraqi insurgency. Initially led by the Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi until his death in 2006, it is now believed to be led by Abu Hamza al-Muhajir[3] (presumed to be the Egyptian Abu Ayyub al-Masri[4]).
The group is a direct successor of al-Zarqawi's previous organization, Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad (Group of Monotheism and Jihad). Beginning with its official statement declaring allegiance to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terrorist network in October 2004, the group identifies itself as Tanzim Qaidat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafidayn (QJBR) ("Organization of Jihad's Base in the Country of the Two Rivers").[5]
AQI is one of Iraq's most feared militant organisations and many experts regard it as the United States' most formidable enemy in the country.[6][7] Others suggest that the threat posed by AQI is exaggerated and some scholars claim that a "heavy focus on al-Qaeda obscures a much more complicated situation on the ground."[8][9]
Irrelevent----show me where the Bush Doctrine is written down, set in stone and recognized to mean one thing that everyone agrees on !
September 20, 2001 PETER JENNINGS: . . . Claire, the president said at one point, From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime. Should we be taking that as the Bush doctrine? CLAIRE SHIPMAN reporting: I think so, Peter,
September 21, 2001 CHARLIE GIBSON: The president in his speech last night, very forceful. Four out of five Americans watched it. Everybody gathered around the television set last night. The president issued a series of demands to the Taliban, already rejected. Well get to that in a moment. He also outlined what is being called the Bush Doctrine, a promise that all terrorists organizations with global reach will be found, stopped and defeated.
September 21, 2001 CHARLIE GIBSON: Senator Daschle, let me start with you. People were looking for a Bush Doctrine. They may have found it when he said the war on terror will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped or defeated. Thats pretty broad. Broader than you expected?
December 9, 2001 GEORGE WILL: The Bush doctrine holds that anyone who governs a territory is complicit in any terrorism that issues from that territory. That covers the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Second, the war on terrorism is indivisible, its part of the Bush doctrine.
December 11, 2001 GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Two years ago, September 1999, Bush gave his first speech when he was running about terrorism. And his firsthad the first explanation of the Bush doctrine, that if you harbor a terrorist, youre going to be attacked. The Bush White House is putting this out, saying it shows that Bush was very prescient, but that was only one speech given in the campaign.
January 28, 2002 BOB WOODWARD: This is now the Bush Doctrine . . . , namely that if were attacked by terrorists, we will not just go after those terrorists but the countries or the people who harbor them.
January 29, 2002 GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: It was striking and significant that the president really expanded the Bush doctrine. If a nation builds a weapon of mass destructionIraq, Iran or North Koreawe will reserve the right to take out those weapons even if were not attacked or even if theres not a threat.
March 19, 2004 TERRY MORAN: That was the Bush doctrine we just heard. On this one-year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, President Bush offered a very broad justification of American leadership in the world under him since 9/11. Not just since one year in Iraq. For American voters as an argument that the country is safer, but more as you point out, for the world, which has been divided by his leadership, that Iraq is knit, in his mind, very firmly into that war on terrorism. One omission which I believe will be noted around the world, he made no mention of the role of multilateral institutions, the UN and others, in this fight against terrorism. In his mind, its clear its American leadership with others following along.
May 7, 2006 GEORGE WILL: Now the argument from the right is the CIA is a rogue agent because it has not subscribed to the Bush doctrine. The Bush doctrine being that American security depends on the spread of democracy and we know how to do that. The trouble is, Negroponte, who is considered by some of these conservatives the villain here and an enemy of the Bush doctrine is the choice of Bush, which makes Bush an insufficient subscriber to the Bush doctrine.

And then she still didnt get it... Her answer had nothing to do with a policy of preemption. Afterward pat buchannen said that prooves how smart she is cause the bush doctrine is actually stupid...
Ignorance is Strength
You have honestly never heard of the National Security Strategy of the United States? The Bush doctrine is fully outlined in the Sep 02 publication. I would provide you the link but clearly you have not done your homework and need to do the search yourself.
Good god man this was a major break with the international rule of law. How on earth could you have never heard of it or read it?
