| What Gibson Missed Entirely? |
|
It was bad enough that Ms.Barbie did not know what the Bush Doctrine represented... but even after Gibson spelled it out for her , Her response was that she would take unilateral action if the threat was imminent.
The Bush doctrine has nothing to do with imminence. It has to do with a threat that 'may' become real some day ... Even at the height of propaganda for the Iraq war Bush , Cheney did not suggest that a threat was imminent .... but still argued for unilateral Military action .. That is what makes the Bush Doctrine such a radioactive idea ..
Why did Gibson not press for an answer with a smart follow-up question? Did he feel sorry for her? Was he too worried that he would come across as beating up on her?
I dont care - we deserve answers.

| 1. In his defense he tried, but she kept spewing the same incoherent mess at him.. |
|
he said her answer got buried in a "blizzard of words", so he asked her yes or no, then she buried him again.

| 3. Especially about Israel -- |
|
He asked her the question differently three times in a row to try to elicit a direct reply, but she answered each time with THE SAME response:
"Charlie, we do not second guess Israel..." THREE TIMES! I posted a video of it here. There's only so much you can do if someone refuses to answer - and he did far better than I'd dared hope.

| 2. Not as important as her not knowing. He was worried too. |
|
He was under just as much of a microscope as she was. The idea that that is just as important as her ignorance is just like the idea that we should be subject to continued smears and false outrage by the GOP.

| 4. Cenk pointed out that he had the perfect opportunity to ask "So was America |
|
under imminent threat from Iraq?" That would have been great!
All in all, Charlie did good. Better than a lot of others would have done.
