As far as Bush senior and Clinton, well Bush Sr went to Saudi Arabia right before the first gulf war and I seem to recall Clinton going somewhere as well. Certainly these are not quite equivalent to going to a full on combat zone. As pointed out, Nixon was the last Pres to do the same.

You're
partially right!
Like Sparhawk said, Clinton was in Kosovo.

He was there on Thanksgiving. And he was able to travel into a war zone only five months after the US-arranged coalition secured the liberation of Kosovo. He was milling about with the troops. Sure he had his security, but he was out in public. And did not spend
all his time in the middle of a fortified military base.

Kudos to Bush! He has shown more support for our troops in Iraq then our last president (whose name I refrain from mentioning, since he is an ASSHOLE) EVER showed for ANY of our military. I can't wait to see what's going to happen next term after he beats out those Dems!

You're wrong!
Anyway:
I think this little covert rendevous shoots to shit the idea that we are making any progress over there. November was the deadliest month in this
war so far. Maybe if it wasn't so dangerous he would have held some photo-ops in front of some of these famous schools he has been building over there.......
