Bush Announces New First-Strike Doctrine
President Bush today announced the Congressionally mandated biannual publication of "The National Security Strategy for the United States of America." The 33-page document details a new policy for the United States, which allows for a pre-emptive attack against perceived threats. This is a drastic departure from past policy, which only allowed for retaliatory military action. This is also the first major policy shift in National Security since the Cold War ended ten years ago.
Read more for an overview of the media coverage.
William Saletan, the Chief Political Correspondent at Slate, takes issue with how vague the policies are -- allowing the Administration to make up the rules of engagement as it goes along. Nothing is specific enough to frame any meaningful policy, and what's worse: the manifesto is irony-free about its lip service to multilateralism and its ethical compromises.
The LA Times is concerned about the arrogance of the manifesto, and the likelihood it could be co-opted by unsavory types like Russia, India and Pakistan for their own nefarious purposes. In a seperate piece, they get the reaction from Congress, including the always-hilarious Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), who accused the President of having a "political personality disorder":
"They've moved from enforceable treaties as an American strategy to military invasion as a nonproliferation strategy," he said.
LAT also took note of Rep. Christopher Cox's (R-Newport Beach) glee:
"The notion is, preserving the peace requires us to work carefully with the great powers."
Finally, a delicious quote from an unidentified Bush aide:
"The concerns about unilateralism, I just think, are unwarranted," the aide said. "Anticipatory self-defense is not a new concept."
The BBC focuses on the unilateralism, quoting Rob Watson, their man in Washington who describes this as "the most aggressive statement of US foreign policy since the Reagan era. "
The New York Times, so far, is just running the AP's excerpts.
