Up until recently, we have been able to keep our operations in Pakistan relatively quiet(a very good thing). If you have noticed there has been more rumblings lately about what we have been doing there over the last few days. I don't think the left has figured out how to make political hay out of that "yet". We have plowed this ground much before, Buddy. There are still "frontier" parts of the world in which the federal governments have little control. More than one country in South America for sure and the state of Chiapas in our neighbors directly to the south come to mind. Parts of Pakistan clearly fit that description. Pakistan passes for a "friendly" in that region and for anyone to assume we have not been operating there for some time needs to listen more and talk less.

Foreign policy experts argue over the meaning of the term "Bush Doctrine," and some scholars have suggested that there is no one unified theory underlying Bush's foreign policy. Jacob Weisberg identifies six successive "Bush Doctrines" in his book The Bush Tragedy,[2] while former Bush staffer Peter D. Feaver has counted seven.[3] Other foreign policy experts have taken the term to mean Bush's doctrine of preventive war, first articulated in 2002, 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. This policy was used to justify the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.[4]
