single bullet doctrine

The doctrine that in diplomacy or the international political field assassination can be a very effective means of avoiding war. Formally coined as a phrase in an opinion piece by journalist John Stanton in October 2002.

The coinage is a reference to a comment regarding the possibility of a war against Saddam Hussein in Iraq. In a press conference Ari Fleischer, the White House spokesman, said: "The cost of a one-way ticket is substantially less than the cost of war. The cost of one bullet, if the Iraqi people take it on themselves, is substantially less than that.

While dealing with a tyrannical dictatorship, I would support the single bullet doctrine.

Number One With A Bullet

Fast moving to the top. Going all the way to number one as if attached to or accompanied by a bullet. A reference to the Billboard top 100 songs where a fast moving track was accompanied by a 'bullet' icon on the chart. Inspiration of the AC/DC lyric "Number One with a Bullet. I'm A Power Pack."

"That new Ice Cube track ain't just a number one, it's number one with a bullet!"
