I Make This Mistake All The Time

by AltHippo @ 5:45 pm. Filed under Bush

Dan Froomkin points out a very common error that people make about the Bush Doctrine. The way Charlie Gibson put it was:

“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.”

A more accurate version is:

“Incompetence and Internal Warfare.”

“A noun, a verb, and 9.11″ would also have been acceptable.
