Bush Doctrine = Post 9/11 National Security Strategy

There is NO EXCUSE for her not knowing this. This is the main purpose of government, according to conservatives. Advising on National Security is one of those little thingies that she doesn't know that the VP is supposed to do. People -- WE ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE.

"The Bush Doctrine is summed up in the National Security Strategy released in 2002. In it, Bush lays out eight different points on how his administration would handle foreign policy. They include: champion aspirations for human dignity, strengthen alliances to defeat global terrorism and work to prevent attacks against the US and its friends, work with others to defuse regional conflicts, prevent the enemies of the US from threatening it, its allies and friends with weapons of mass destruction, ignite a new era of global economic growth through free markets and free trade, expand the circle of development by opening societies and building the infrastructure of democracy, and develop agendas for cooperative action with the other main centers of global power.<5> Out of the National Security Stategy, four main points are highlighted as the core to the Bush Doctrine: Preemption, Military Primacy, New Multilateralism, and the Spread of Democracy.<8>"
