First Lady: I Want to Go to Afghanistan Monday, December 01, 2003 WASHINGTON — Just three days after President Bush returned from a surprise trip to Baghdad, his wife Laura Bush (search) disclosed that she is considering a trip to Afghanistan next spring. She said: "I'd really like to go. I hope I'll have a chance." Her statement caught her aides by surprise, but it wasn't the first time that Mrs. Bush had disclosed a secret. She announced that the president would make a state visit to Britain long before it was announced officially. The first lady made the comment as she was discussing the president's trip to Baghdad last week, in which he served Thanksgiving dinner to U.S. troops at Baghdad airport and met with Iraqi officials during a two-and-a-half-hour stay. Mrs. Bush says her husband called from Air Force One (search) not long after takeoff from Baghdad and told her -- in her words -- "how sweet it was." She said that she was sorry that she didn't get to go with the president, and would like to visit Iraq and Afghanistan in the future. Mrs. Bush's press secretary, Gordon Johndroe, said it was too early to discuss a trip to Afghanistan (search) and that there was "nothing on the calendar yet." Mrs. Bush spoke with reporters in the White House driveway as she received the official White House Christmas tree, an 18 1/2 foot Fraser fir (search) from Wisconsin.
