Explain a Doctrine that Gibson made up (or, more correctly, the liberals made up)?
Charles Krauthammer is a liberal? Who knew?

No, what's sad is that our current president is apparently insane and babbles on about imaginary things that never existed:
The White House wrote:
THE PRESIDENT: Under the Bush doctrine I said we'd use all resources, all available resources to fight off terror. And that includes working with our friends and allies to cut off money, to use diplomatic pressure, to convince -- to convince those that think they can traffick in terror that they're going to face a mighty coalition. And sometimes we use military force and sometimes we won't.
In the case of the Middle East, obviously, the road map I've laid out is one that calls upon all our friends and allies to join and bind together against terror; it calls upon the Arab nations to step up and firmly reject terror. If you remember in my speech, I said they need to get on their public airways and denounce terror, they need to work on Syria and Lebanon, to prevent Hezbollah from creating chaos in the Middle East. We all have responsibilities and in this case the tool I'm using is diplomatic pressure to work with our friends and allies to convince all parties they have a responsibility to bear.
According to the White House, Cheney wrote:
Since the day our country was attacked, we have also applied the Bush Doctrine: Any person or government that supports, protects, or harbors terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent, and will be held to account.
The first to see this doctrine in action were the Taliban, who ruled Afghanistan by violence while turning that country into a giant training camp for terrorists. America and our coalition took down the regime in a matter of weeks because of our superior technology, and the unmatched skill of our armed forces, and, above all, because we came not as conquerors but as liberators. The Taliban are gone from the scene. The terrorist camps are closed, and the Afghan people are building a nation that is secure, independent, and free.
Poor little Gbaji... always reciting the talking points fed to him and never looking up anything for himself. On the bright side, you'd make a great Republican VP candidate.
