In his address to the nation on the evening of September 11, 2001, President Bush, “In final form, what would later be called the Bush Doctrine said, ‘We will make no distinction between those who planned these acts and those who harbor them.’ …The decision was made without consulting [Vice President Dick] Cheney, [Secretary of State Colin] Powell or [Secretary of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld.”
