Bush in Vietnam warning over Iraq


"Three decades later, there is a legitimate debate about how we got into the Vietnam War and how we left.

Short-term problem


BBC world affairs correspondent Nick Childs says Mr Bush's speech will fuel the controversy over whether he is drawing the right or wrong lessons from history. ....

In other news in Iraq:


Fourteen US soldiers were killed when a Black Hawk helicopter in which they were travelling crashed in northern Iraq. The military said a mechanical fault was to blame.

At least 24 people were killed and 50 injured when a suicide bomber rammed a fuel tanker into a police station in the northern oil city of Baiji.

The deputy US commander in Iraq told the BBC that the US had recruited 20,000 civilian volunteers to act as local police in sensitive areas of the country. ....

3. In his own mind ... and full costume, Bush sees himself as a Nam vet and hero.
Costumes make the man.

Remember the codpiece. It sure made Tweety swoon.
