Bullshit....this is a woman with the qualification of a school principal who doesn't read the newspapers. Like Obama, you are trying to minimize her experience, and this is why the American people are outraged at her treatment. SHE IS THE GOVERNOR OF A STATE. Under any circumstance, her experience is far beyond that of Obama. It may be true that she has less travel experience (although, it may not), but she has more real, relevant, hands-on administrative experience. A VP candidate for a septuagenarian president but she doesn't know what the bush doctrine of pre-emption is. What did have? Two years of national debate over it? Where was she? Watching russia from that island of hers? I don't think that is a fair criticism on the basis of that interview. While she is certainly no expert on that issue, it is clear that, for example, Obama doesn't know the first thing about negotiating, while Palin does. Which is more important?

Bullshit is right.....about your entire post.... Her answer was fine.... The Bush Doctrine is a term used to describe several related foreign policy principles of United States president George W. Bush. Key elements of the Bush Doctrine include increased unilateralism in foreign policy and an expanded view of American national security interests. The Bush Doctrine includes the controversial policy of preventive war, which holds that the United States government should depose foreign regimes that represent a threat to the security of the United States, even if such threats are not immediate and no attack is imminent. The Bush Doctrine was used to justify the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Certain elements of the doctrine were evident in the early months of Bush's presidency. Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer used the term "Bush Doctrine" in February 2001 to refer to the president's unilateral approach to national missile defense.[1] However, the doctrine was articulated more fully in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, when President Bush declared that the United States had the right to treat countries that harbor terrorist groups as terrorist states themselves. This policy was used to justify the invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001[2] and has since been applied to American military action against Al Qaeda camps in Pakistan. In a series of speeches in late 2001 and 2002, President Bush expanded on his view of American foreign policy and global intervention, declaring that the United States should actively support democratic governments around the world, especially in the Middle East, as a strategy for combating the threat of terrorism, and that the United States had the right to act unilaterally in its own security interests, without the approval of international bodies such as the United Nations.[3][4][5] This represented a dramatic shift from the United States's Cold War policies of deterrence and containment and from President Bill Clinton's foreign policy based on multilateralism. The main elements of the Bush Doctrine were codified in a National Security Council document, National Security Strategy of the United States, published on September 20, 2002,[6] and this document is often cited as the definitive statement of the doctrine.[7][8][9] The National Security Strategy was updated in 2006.[10] en.wikipedia.org
