For George Bush, it was a gaffe waiting to happening.
The similarities in sounding between Australia and Austria led Bush into an embarrassing blunder down under.
The US president thanked Australian premier John Howard for visiting 'Austrian troops' in Iraq.

There are no Austrian troops there, although Australia has 1,500 military personnel in the region.
He continued his blunders by then confusing the organisations of APEC and OPEC.
Talking at a business forum on the eve of an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Sydney, Mr Bush also told Mr Howard: "Mr Prime Minister, thank you for your introduction. Thank you for being such a fine host for the OPEC summit."
As the audience laughed, the US president corrected himself and joked: "He invited me to the OPEC summit next year."
(But unfortunately) Australia has never been a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
