United States President George Bush on Monday became the first sitting US president to visit Mongolia, in a show of support for a fledgling democracy that has sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush said in remarks released by the White House that US forces were proud to fight alongside the ”fearless warriors” of Mongolia, once home to fearsome 13th century conqueror Genghis Khan.
George Bush’s personal interest in Mongolia might be thought limited. Yet, when the country’s then leader visited Washington last year, the US president enthusiastically declared ”a new era of comprehensive partnership”. While Mongolia has oil, its main resource is 20-million sheep and goats. But ruminants were not the reason Bush was all riled up.
