True Blue Liberal: With Jimmy Cliff's "Vietnam" playing on the stereo, I run across the headline: "Bush says he'll visit Vietnam next year". Isn't it a little late?

With Jimmy Cliff's "Vietnam" playing on the stereo, I run across the headline: "Bush says he'll visit Vietnam next year". Isn't it a little late?

Click here for details: http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/06/21/bush.vietnam/ . To run across this article about our Commandant in Chief's future travel plans while Jimmy Cliff's 1969 "Vietnam" was playing in the background seemed especially appropriate.

I guess this chickenshit chickenhawk finally thinks it's safe enough, a little over thirty years after he first dressed up in a soldier suit and professed his deeply held belief in (other, poorer, Americans) killing Communists. Maybe if he wears his flightsuit he can stir up a little of the old animosity when he's over there in Hanoi & Ho Chi Minh City.
