American Flag Dips to Vietnam, China? Naval  Officers Claim Clinton to Change Regulation to Placate Totalitarian Regimes
By Geoff Metcalf, WorldNetDaily.com  (That should be your first clue)

President Clinton reportedly plans to visit China and Vietnam before the end of his term, and, according to high-ranking  Navy officers, the commander in chief will alter long-standing naval regulations to allow the American flag to fly below that of Vietnam when he  sails into the communist nation's territorial waters on a U.S. Navy ship. Highly placed Navy sources who spoke on condition of anonymity believe this action on the president's part would further devastate already tenuous  Navy morale.  As part of his swan song, Clinton reportedly intends to visit two ports aboard Naval vessels.  Trip one takes him to  the People's Republic of China, which has a regulation that no war ship of any country may enter its territorial waters flying a flag higher than that of the People's Republic of China. According to one Navy source, China and the U.S. have effected a compromise whereby both flags-the U.S. and the PRC- will be flown from U.S. naval vessels at the same  height. But visceral outrage is resulting from a proposed change to Navy regulations that would result in the American flag being  displayed subordinate to the flag of Vietnam. Navy regulations and tradition prescribe that no country's flag will be displayed in a superior position to the U.S. flag. However, Vietnam's rules reportedly demand that the Vietnamese flag shall always fly in a superior position to any other  country's flag. High-ranking naval officers, speaking on condition that their names not be published, say the reason for all the alarm, anger and career-threatening rhetoric is that Clinton allegedly has either ordered, or is about to order, the Secretary of the Navy to amend regulations to permit  the Vietnamese flag to be displayed over the U.S.  flag.
