Al Iraqya TV covered President Bush's visit pretty much in its entirety. They stayed on the story the whole time he was here.

The Iraqis seemed pretty excited to have our leader visiting their leaders. It gave them a good morale boost and a feeling of esteem. National pride is very evident here these days as well.

Things have really been looking up over the past few days.

Thanks for the info. This is what's important - what the Iraqis themselves think, not the addled musings of self-styled pundits in America who don't really care what happens to Iraqis. If their reaction is overall positive, then that's great news.

Stay safe and well!
