He may have spun that article a bit in an attempt to justify Palin's ignorance, but he attended the birth of the Bush Doctrine, was at the very least, the midwife.

Not really. The Bush Doctrine actually has its roots in Bush41 when Wolfowitz write a white paper in 1991 or 1992 that resembled the 2002 paper. Bush41's team rejected it, though. Wolfowitz, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Abrams, Kristol and the other neocons held onto the basic preemtive premise--basically that the US could serve as the world's cop as guarantor of peace and prosperity-- until they could put it into practice with Bush 43. Krauthammer is part of that cabal, sure. But he wasn't the author of it, although he may have had some input into it in the early 90s, I don't know about that. But Wolfowitz was the one who at least got the credit or the blame for the original document.
