Lessons learned from Vietnam

President Bush is in Indonesia, concluding an eight-day trip abroad. At a news conference this morning, he was asked about troop levels in Iraq and said he hasn't decided on whether to reduce or increase the number of troops in that country.

Earlier in his trip, the President was in Vietnam and was asked to compare the Vietnam War with the war in Iraq.

His comments prompted this response from commentator Chris Steele, a Vietnam War veteran from St. Paul.
