Powell Doctrine

The Powell Doctrine, created by then Major-General Colin Powell during the Gulf War stated that in a war, attention and care should be given to the land on which the soldiers were standing. This doctrine is known in military circles as the 'Do not step on the flowers' or 'Please Keep Off the Grass' doctrine.

Those soldiers mowing the grass in the Iraqi compound are maintaining the Powell Doctrine

Uncle Jimbo Doctrine

Named after the fictional character from "South Park," the Uncle Jimbo Doctrine refers to a formal or informal military policy that enables otherwise reckless actions (that usually involves excessive killings and/or collateral damage) by invoking self-defense as a justification.

Israel has a right to defend itself, but its recent actions in Lebanon is an exercise of the Uncle Jimbo Doctrine.

doctrine of unclean hands

Legal doctrine describing the absolute wrongness of setting your Starbucks down on the urinal while you drain the weasel. By your act, the coffee is forever unclean, and any attempt to rationalize it that it was just the bottom of the coffee cup that touched the urinal is futile. Osmosis by grossness occurs, and you are basically drinking other dudes' urine.

One of the essays on the bar exam last year involved the doctrine of unclean hands.

bush doctrine

Not an actual doctrine such as the Monroe Doctrine. Simply, a term used to describe what President Bush has done in response to Septemeber 11th. This covers the Patriot Act and wiretapping, Guantanamo Bay, and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Overall, it describes how President Bush has attempted to combat terrorism at home and abroad.

The Bush Doctrine, although nonexistant, outlines how president Bush planned to combat terrorism throughout the world.
