Let me know when he makes a VISIT TO A FUNERAL FOR A SOLDIER KILLED ON HIS ORDERS...
Bush Makes Surprise Visit to Troops in
Baghdad
By Terence Hunt, AP White House Correspondent

BAGHDAD, Iraq — President Bush made a surprise
Thanksgiving visit to American troops in Baghdad
Thursday, flying secretly to violence-scarred Iraq to
thank U.S. forces for serving there. It was the first trip
ever by an American president to Iraq -- a mission
tense with concern about his safety.

"You are defending the American people from danger
and we are grateful," Bush told some 600 soldiers who
were stunned and delighted by his appearance.

The president's plane -- its lights darkened and
windows closed to minimize chances of making it a
target -- landed under a crescent moon at Baghdad
International Airport.

Bush flew in on the plane he most often uses, and White
House officials went to extraordinary lengths to keep
the trip a secret, fearing its disclosure would prompt
terrorist attempts to kill him.
