Another Homerun for Palin!

[Pens1566]

This sounds like Charlie might have actually done a good job as a journalist. I was afraid he'd revert to GMA interview skills.

Gibson had to tell her what the Bush Doctrine was. Homerun, or did it hit the foul pole?

She specifically said that it would happen if Georgia is a member of NATO. It is in the NATO charter that an attack on one member is an attack on all members. Nice job trying to twist her statement out of context.

Link?

He can't give you one because she caveated it; US could fight Russia if Georgia was a NATO member, which it isn't, but the devil is in the details, isn't it?

BTW, you guys suck at video links. Apparently the first was junk so I tried the second and it is crap, too. blah

 

[jpeyton]

BTW, I'm never buying gas at Citgo ever again.

From the links provided it just looks like a regular politician interview. I'm sure Gibson will try to get her on a few things, but I don't expect much out of it. Interviews often have far too many rules applied to them as to what subjects are acceptable, the questions are usually fairly well known in advance, and politicians are great at dodging uncomfortable subjects.

I don't imagine anything huge will come out of it... even an interviewer as horribly unprofessional as Bill O'Reilly wasn't able to spice it up much. (although he was able to interrupt a lot)

FYI: Off the foul pole is a homerun

hehe.. so I guess it was a homerun I now exit the thread

 

[deftron]

LOL What's the Bush droctine ?


she's so clueless

 

[Sinsear]

I didn't see anything special one way or the other in the interview. Her words seemed to be more carefully chosen than just straight off the cuff, but that's how these things normally go.

 

[jpeyton]

Holy s***!

PALIN: For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable and we have to keep...

GIBSON: You believe unprovoked.

PALIN: I do believe unprovoked and we have got to keep our eyes on Russia, under the leadership there.

GIBSON: Would you favor putting Georgia and Ukraine in NATO?

PALIN: Ukraine, definitely, yes. Yes, and Georgia.

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.

Gibson has some skills! At the end, Palin was trying to bait him into defining what the Bush doctrine is. He *almost* did, but caught himself and asked her what she interpreted it to be.

Genius.

"His world view." :laugh: :laugh:

Pretty much the way I see it. Not really good or bad... just "meh".

Yeah ......... that's kind of bad.

So what? She did not know specifically what Charlie meant by the Bush Doctrine. Her answer prior to Charlie clarifying what it specifically was revealed she did understand that preemptive strikes were part of the tools Bush used in the War on Terror.

That Bush doctrine question would have thrown me too. I'm not sure that is an official term with a hard and narrow definition.

 

[Farang]

The Bush Doctrine as a term is akin to the Truman Doctrine. It has one meaning and isn't just a couple of words Gibson put together that she could misinterpret, that is unless she is clueless on what has happened during the war on terror.

Were you alive in 2003/2004?

The term is pretty official, among people who know foreign policy domestically and abroad.

Yeah that question was probably a bit unfair. But alls fair in love and politics.

 

[OrByte]

The "Bush Doctrine" represents a fundamental CHANGE in approach to foreign policy when engaging threats to America and its interests.

It is something that will be taught in history books all over the country, for pretty much EVER on forward.

How can she not know what he meant when he said "Bush Doctrine" ??

The Bush doctrine is one of the pillars of his reign as President. He changed American foreign policy by engaging in war "preemptively"

sheesh.

and reading more;

She doesnt outright come out and say it, but she seems to think it is OK to wage war with Afhganistan through Pakistan without Pakistani cooperation.

The other day on Oreilly I specifically remember Obama saying that we have to bend Pakistani's will to suit our needs when fighting a war in Afghanistan. IE make them cooperate.

So, is she saying she isn't respecting the Pakistan government?

I wish I knew more of these issues

 

[nageov3t]

I always thought it was called the doctrine of preemptive use of force or something.

Unfair to ask a soccer mom, yes.

Unfair to ask a VP candidate? GTFO.
