...That withstood a challenge and spirited debate from Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), who called the restriction secretive, protectionist and a threat to the new U.S.-Vietnam free trade agreement... ...

Why of all people, would Senator John McCain, a former POW in Vietnam, shill for Vietnam?

Could he be a "Manchurian Candidate"?

Source? Are you sure you're not confusing GWB with Clinton?

There are almost as many Manchurian candidates in the U.S. government as there are would be antichrists round the globe.

Many men who were in Viet Nam, especially the ones who were a small step removed from the actual fighting, learned to respect and genuinely like the Vietnamese people. They, especially those southerners who are actually northerners who came south after partition, are extremely hardworking and very enterepreneurial.

Viet Nam is not an ally of a large enemy of the US. The USSR is no more and there is no love nor cooperatin between VN and China. The Viets do not care much for Arabs or Indonesians. VN is one country that is almost a natural ally of the US with, unfortunately, the embarrassment of a Communist government.

Hey, anything in the name of "free trade", right?

Thanks for the link.

I can't stand the guy, but even with the less than sterling performance as a POW, the man doesn't deserve to be labeled for his time in the hands of our enenmy. Its beneath us.

He is easily looked down upon for his failure to uphold conservative and constitutional principles and his love of being a media demogogue.

You got THAT right!

I never sold even one of that design, and it is pretty crude compared to the quality of my more recent designs, but it seems eerily prescient now.

Thanks for pinging me to this, I had not thought about this graphic in a long, long time.
