That's an odd opinion. Hillary and the other senator spent several days visiting Pakistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Hillary met with leaders in each country, including the leader of Afghanistan, and was there to push a specific political agenda (more U.N. involvement in the region).
Bush flew in for a few hours, got some pictures taken of himself carrying around a turkey, and left.
You're entitled to your own opinion, but frankly I can't see how you can see Bush's trip as useful and Hillary's trip as wasteful.

Well, except for the fact that Bush also met with members of the Iraqi governing council while there. Certainly that's a bit more than carrying around a turkey and getting pictures taken.
