It's a well-known and established fact that when our Beloved Leader either compliments a program, or promises support it means that the program or initiative in question is about to get the axe, be defunded or totally ignored...see: promises after Katrina. So when at the meeting in Vietnam (which is apparently safe enough for the Deserting Fratboy Coward to visit now 36 years late) he says this:
On the eve of an economic summit in Vietnam, Bush voiced tentative support for a free-trade agreement covering all 21 member states of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, saying during a speech here that the idea deserves "serious consideration."
...
In his address previewing issues he plans to emphasize during his week-long trip, Bush said the United States is serious about helping the region meet the challenges that could undermine its recent record of explosive economic growth. He cited efforts to develop alternative energy sources, fight pandemic diseases such as AIDS and avian flu, and combat terrorism.
Of all those, he'll probably meet with North Vietnamese interrogators to get ideas for more effective tried-and-true methods in his War on Terra™, the rest is all for show.
I wonder who he'll blame for getting the wrong Vietnamese flag on the Whitehouse.gov website? Probably, oh, I don't know...Nancy Pelosi?
