As Vietnam trip nears, Bush rejects Iraq link
Updated 11/12/2006 11:00 PM ET


President Bush will leave for Asia on Tuesday and will be in Vietnam from Nov. 16-19.
By David Jackson, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — President Bush travels this week to the site of an old military conflict casting a shadow over the United States
and Iraq: Vietnam. Bush's trip, including stops in Singapore and Indonesia, is mainly to promote trade
at a conference in Hanoi and discuss ways to combat terrorism in the region. But the eight-day journey also includes reminders of how the Vietnam War roiled U.S. politics and society and raises questions about whether the same thing is happening with Iraq


@ least he will not show up @ the Ohio State v Michigan game.

How much do we have to pay Vietnam to keep him? Let him work @ a Nike shoe factory
for $6.50 a day.
