MSN Encarta - The Bush Doctrine and the U.S. Military
MSN Encarta - The Bush Doctrine and the U.S. Military: "By 2005 the U.S. defense budget will be greater than the defense budgets of the rest of the countries of the world combined.
Origins of the Bush doctrine
Although the Bush doctrine was not publicly articulated until September 2002, its origins actually go back to the early 1990s. In 1992, a document written at the direction of Richard Cheney, then the secretary of defense, first introduced the idea that the United States should never again allow another rival superpower to emerge. When the contents of the document were leaked to the press, however, it was disavowed. "
