Bush in Baghdad!...
Bush Pays Surprise Thanksgiving Visit to Troops in Iraq.
"BAGHDAD, Nov. 27 -- President Bush made a secret trip to Iraq on Thursday to celebrate Thanksgiving with troops and pledge that he will not retreat in the face of increasing insurgent violence.
Bush surprised 600 soldiers of the 1st Armored Division and the 82nd Airborne Division attending a Thanksgiving celebration at the Bob Hope Dining Facility on the makeshift military base at Baghdad International Airport, telling them they "are defeating the terrorists here in Iraq so we don't have to face them in our own country.
"We did not charge hundreds of miles into the heart of Iraq, pay a bitter cost of casualties, defeat a ruthless dictator and liberate 25 million people, only to retreat before a band of thugs and assassins," Bush said, to a standing ovation. "We will prevail. We will win because our cause is just.""
Now what kind of message does that send to our troops! It tells them they have a Commander-in-Chief that cares about what they are doing and understands the sacrifices they have made and are continuing to make!
Bravo! President Bush!
Watch out for the Liberals crying foul - that Bush did it only as a campaign stunt. But just compare to Billary being in Afghanistan bringing attention to herself...
