Bush Makes Surprise Visit to Iraq BAGHDAD, Iraq — President Bush was meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki face to face on Tuesday after making a surprise visit to Iraq to bolster the newly-formed government and discuss the next steps in trying to shore up Iraqi security after three years of war.

"I appreciate you recognize the fact that the future of your country is in your hands," Bush told al-Maliki. "I appreciate your committment to representing the people of Iraq."

The president arrived in Baghdad at 8:08 a.m. EDT, or 4:08 p.m. local time. It was the second surprise visit he's made to the country in the past three years. Last time, Bush went to visit U.S. troops on Thanksgiving in 2003. At that time, his visit wasn't announced until after he left. This time, his arrival was reported after he touched down in Baghdad's Green Zone.

Only a handful of aides knew of the trip as the president had been speaking since last week about hosting a Camp David retreat where the president, his Cabinet and his national security and military team were supposed to hold a teleconference Tuesday with al-Maliki and his Cabinet. The two-day retreat provided cover for Bush to travel secretly and for al-Maliki and his Cabinet to arrive in the Green Zone for the meeting.

Ever since Darryl Hannah played that mermaid, she has been a very beautiful empty headed ditz.

But he did play President CLinton really well.

Happy birthday LL, just driving by. Rush was awesome today and GWB's speech was truly a one of a kind. Makes you proud to be an American.

Troop just love Bush, they hated Clinton. Dems just can't get over it.

They remember. Hellery said "I loathe the military", Bill said "I don't talk to Generals".

[Sensei Ern]

I knew that. I keep getting them confused.

[hattend]

Sounds like a Miss Al-Quaida beauty contest going on.

The winner get a bomb dropped on there head.

Sheesh

[Sensei Ern]

Anyone see the Miss World screw up on the news?

THey announced Miss Russia was the winner, but Miss Costa Rica went forward and accepted the crown.

[ChicagoConservative27]

Arrest all the idiot actors. Their trespassing.

[American Quilter]

Rush is detailing an eminent-domain brouhaha. The usual Hollyweird tree-huggers are inserting themselves into the mess.

The name game continues

"Newly Arrived Hispanics"

THey announced Miss Russia was the winner, but Miss Costa Rica went forward and accepted the crown.

See what happens when you refuse to speak Spanish.

[ChicagoConservative27]

They better deport these "gardner's".

[American Quilter]

The squatters are being evicted. Good. If I were Mr. Horowitz, I'd be in there with a bulldozer, and I'd head right for the tree with that idiot Darryl Hannah in it.

[hattend]

Daryl Hannah needs a gig and any publicity is good publicity.
