COMMENTS: HANOI HILTON
After stops in Moscow and Singapore, President George Bush arrived in Vietnam for the APEC Summit. Those earlier stops had not been deemed newsworthy enough to be covered on the nightly newscasts. Not this one in Hanoi. All three White House correspondents covered his comparisons between the Vietnam War--one he was "not eager to fight in," needled NBC's David Gregory--and the Iraq War. "We will succeed unless we quit," the President promised about the latter. CBS' Jim Axelrod heard an "eerie echo" of Lyndon Johnson's policies in Bush's rhetoric. NBC followed up with Ian Williams survey of the booming Vietnamese economy. Intel's is the latest huge American manufacturing investment there.
