#2 Many people called for the head of the CIA director after 9/11. He has really looked good this last several weeks. A purely politico would have hung the CIA out to dry when things were tough this summer. Bush has the guts to ride out a storm instead of sacrificing someone to calm the crowd. Scapegoating usually only puts blood in the water for the opposition sharks.

#3 President Bush doesn't have a doctrine -- he has a Proven Fact, which is:

"If Boosh has to come get you, he is bringing a major ass-whuppin' with him."

#4 Matt, perfectly put--I love it!
Almost as fab as the beauty of the workings of the Bush Doctrine/Proven Fact is seeing Dana ("Am I gay or just a metrosexual?") Milbank kissing President Bush's butt instead of trying to spank it.

#5 J: I'd guess metro. He's being grudging about it. Like some guy reacting to the vision of a Big Stick. This is starting to get twisted. I think I'm gonna just shut up.

#6 "...the Bush Doctrine â a policy of taking preemptive, unprovoked action against emerging threats"

This was the point where I started yelling at the computer... I felt provoked by Iraq, whatever Dana thinks...
