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.

Wolfowitz may have authored document but Krauthammer was a prominent participant. If you read his comments between 9/11 and the time the Bush Doctrine was acknowledged with that name, you could see the thing coming together. At what point is it no longer a gleam in the eye and officially The Bush Doctrine? Dunno, but it clearly existed before there was anything published with that name.

Windows developed something called "Longhorn" that was published as "Vista." Could you reasonably claim that Vista didn't exist until it was published under that name? Don't think so. Peggy Noonan referenced it as "what will perhaps be known as the Bush Doctrine" in February, 2001 so it must have been cooking for some time before that. State of the Union messages, at the very least, are months in the making. The ideas that go into them, even longer. Seems to be that the yet unnamed Bush Doctrine is still appropriately referred to as the Bush Doctrine.

But you can call it "Longhorn" if you like. I'll get your reference. <g>
