POLITICS: Bush Pulls a Vietnam Drive By

Bush chose his recent visit to Vietnam to once again display his incredible diplomacy skills. He spent the entire time not meeting one Vietnamese person who was not part of his official schedule. His national security advisor, Stephen J. Hadley, admitted the president has not actually come into "direct contact" with the locals but they still really got to know each other.

The president drove around in a car and waved, what more do you fucking want? He smiled. He didn't have to do that. And he felt the warmth of their smiles. Plus he could tell from those smiles that they wanted to put the past behind them. You know, the past where we interfered with their civil war and killed millions of them.



On Saturday, Bush only came out of his hotel once, for a 15-minute visit to the Joint P.O.W./M.I.A. Accounting Command. The organization searches for the 1,800 Americans who are still missing. Some would call a 15-minute visit a "photo-op."



The Vietnamese who did get a small dose of Bush were not impressed. At his first stop he gave a speech in Singapore.

Thanks for making us proud once again, George.

Loser! Move on!

It's too bad that our country doesn't have a Foreign Relations Handbook For Dummies co-authored by both Reagan and Clinton. They seemed to have a pretty good handle on such matters. Different styles - but both were very effective.

He goes to Vietnam and tells the Vietnamese that the lesson of the Vietnam War is that "we'll succeed unless we quit."

In other words, "If we had stayed in Vietnam longer, and bombed you gooks even more, we would have won. Wouldn't that have been great?"

Jesus. A person who read "Diplomacy For Dummies" would know better.

No shit. I attended that speech (the one 15 years ago), and it was no great shakes, but little Bush still didn't come within miles of it.

If there's any country that has a right to not be impressed by Americans, it's Vietnam.

True, but the Vietnamese are actually surprisingly pro-American.

Ive said it before and Ill say it again..

Thats Our Bush!

I know its "Thats MY Bush" but im not taking the fall alone here!

Iraq is Bush's Vietnam, Part II. Bush dodged the draft and dodged the Vietnamese during his latest visit. What a coincidence!
