Sarah Palin and the Bush Doctrine

The MSM is all abuzz about the gotcha question Sarah Palin answered correctly last night.

Here is a transcript:

GIBSON: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?
PALIN: In what respect, Charlie?
GIBSON: The Bush—well, what do you—what do you interpret it to be?
PALIN: His world view.
GIBSON: No, the Bush doctrine, enunciated September 2002, before the Iraq war.
PALIN: I believe that what President Bush has attempted to do is rid this world of Islamic extremism, terrorists who are hell bent on destroying our nation. There have been blunders along the way, though. There have been mistakes made. And with new leadership, and that’s the beauty of American elections, of course, and democracy, is with new leadership comes opportunity to do things better.
GIBSON: The Bush doctrine, as I understand it, is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense, that we have the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us. Do you agree with that?

PALIN: Charlie, if there is legitimate and enough intelligence that tells us that a strike is imminent against American people, we have every right to defend our country. In fact, the president has the obligation, the duty to defend.

And here is a Wiki entry on what the Bush Doctrine really is.

Sounds to me like Sarah got it right and Charlie got it wrong. Sorry Charlie.

You see, it's like this, Sarah Palin has set a few traps in her life. Fish, Moose and Wolves. She knows what they look like. She didn't bite. She wasn't trapped. She answered the question as she should have.

Your's needed more leaves Charlie.
