BREAKING NEWS: Bush visits Iraq! Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Just saw on CNN and Fox News, that Bush paid a surprised visit to our troops in Iraq. He landed at Baghdad Int. Airport and had a thanksgiving dinner with about 600 troops.

Way to go Mr. President!

I must say that it is a brilliant press event, though. All the reporters get to go gaga, spend the whole day talking about it, on day most people are at home and will have the chance to hear about it all day. And thankfully no soldiers were killed this day, so the press gets to be totally supportive.

Actually, I thought there were two more soldiers killed in Mosul that they talked about on the news today?

Al Qaeda probably think it was very unsporting of Bush to drop into the neighbourhood unannounced. They didn't even have time to prepare a welcome reception.

All those jihadists watching him on TV, fuming that Bush didn't bother to call ahead. So near and yet so far.

Excellent PR stunt. It'll give his ratings a good boost I imagine.

Anyone think Hillary might be just a little pissed off that Bush came in and stole a lot of thunder?

The visit will have little effect on the ground situation there but the boost in morale was needed. It was a different situatioin from the Bush Sr. visit to Saudia Arabia during the build up to desert storm.

And on a side note, so much for the all seeing media.
