Bush: Lesson Of Vietnam...Stay In Iraq...


President Bush said Friday the United States' unsuccessful war in Vietnam three decades ago offered lessons for the American-led struggle in
Iraq. "We'll succeed unless we quit," Bush said shortly after arriving in this one-time war capital.

Bush met here with Australian Prime Minister John Howard, one of America's strongest allies in Iraq, Vietnam and other conflicts. The president said there were lessons to be learned from the divisive Vietnam war -- the longest conflict in U.S. history -- as the United States wages the unpopular war in Iraq, now in its fourth year.
