BEIJING (Reuters) - George W. Bush will on Monday become the first U.S. president to visit Mongolia, the last stop of a week-long Asia tour that gave him little respite from questions about the Iraq war.

It was Mongolia's support for the war that provided the greatest incentive for Bush to become what aides described as the first White House visitor to the country since Vice President Henry Wallace in 1944.

Mongolia, which produced the warrior Genghis Khan, has deployed about 120 soldiers to Iraq, and Bush was expected to thank Mongolian President Nambariin Enkhbayar for his support in a speech.

He will also hail its transition from a totalitarian state to one that has embraced democracy, albeit one that struggles with corruption, a subject that might come up in his talks.

Or as W would say, "Genghis who? I missed that class cuz of the frat kegger."
