July 5, 200818 yr The following appears in the BANGKOK POST: _____ Bush to Visit Again BangkokPost.com US President George W. Bush will visit Thailand next month to celebrate the 175th anniversary of diplomatic relations. US officials confirmed on Friday that Mr Bush will visit Thailand and South Korea on his way to China to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. The exact date of the visit is not yet set, but it will be within the first week of August. According to an official White House press release on Friday, Mr Bush will first visit South Korea. "The President will then travel to Thailand to celebrate 175 years of the US-Thailand relationship and to discuss issues bilateral and regional issues with Prime Minister Samak," the statement said. After that he will proceed to China for the Aug 8 opening of the Olympics. Mr Bush visited Thailand and also attended the Apec summit in Bangkok in December, 2003 His stop in China will come as part of what may be his farewell trip to Asia, with stops in South Korea and Thailand, though the White House has yet to announce the dates for his departure from Washington or his return. The White House had said earlier this week that Bush would be in South Korea August 5 and 6, but Perino later retracted that announcement as "premature" but "not inaccurate" while offering a "little bit of an apology" to Seoul. In South Korea, Bush and his counterpart Lee Myung-Bak will discuss efforts to get their respective legislatures to ratify the US-South Korea free trade pact, amid violent protests in South Korea against a deal to resume US beef imports, said Perino.
July 5, 200818 yr Do you think they will have Expats waving flags for him? LOL Perhaps a paid Thai contingency. Considering things are a bit slow in the Plaza, how about we give them the job for a day?
July 8, 200818 yr Oh dear God help us! Let us pray he changes his plans!!!! "W" seems to have a reverse Midas touch... Everything "W" or his administration touches turns to feces. So "W", please stay away....we like Thailand as it is.
July 9, 200818 yr Author Let us pray he changes his plans!!!! Not me. I say bring him on! I think it would be wonderful if he gets caught fondling a boy on the CCTV cameras or, better yet, gets arrested for having sex with an under-age boy. Now that's something I'd love to see . . . . . I think it would be poetic justice if he ends up on a shit list because he is a middle-aged male who visited Thailand. Come to think of it, he's already on a shit list or two, isn't he? He certainly made it to the top spot on my "I Don't Get It" list.

I get it, and I think Bill Maher put it best....he said that when Bush/Cheney took office uder the guidence of the oil people, gas was just over $1.00 a gallon. Now it is over $4.00 a gallon as he is about to end his term...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
