BUSH LEARNS LESSON FROM VIETNAM

During President Bush’s visit to Vietnam this week, he said, “The lesson of Vietnam is that we left too soon. We can’t win the war on terror if we quit. People expect instant success in Iraq, but democracy takes time.” A White House maid overheard Laura Bush confiding to a friend, “The ‘democracy takes time’ paragraph that Karl wrote doesn’t sound like George at all. My husband is so impatient, he doesn’t even believe in foreplay. You couldn’t get an ear nibble, a French kiss or a breast caress out of that man if Dick Cheney held a gun to his head.”
