Bush in Baghdad and Saddam is not

George Bush frustrated his enemies foreign and domestic with a Thanksgiving trip to Baghdad.

Jerry Bremer told the assembled troops that greetings from the President should be read by the most senior offical present.

..."That's when Mr. Bush emerged from under radar-reflective camouflage netting and the soldiers, packed into the small hall, erupted into thunderous applause.

"The president clearly was moved by the reception, his eyes welling with tears. His voice choked with emotion several times during his short speech.

"You're engaged in a difficult mission," Mr. Bush told the soldiers. "Those who attack our coalition forces and kill innocent Iraqis are testing our will. They hope we will run.

"We did not charge hundreds of miles into the heart of Iraq, pay a bitter cost in casualties, defeat a brutal dictator and liberate 25 million people only to retreat before a band of thugs and assassins," the president said.

"Those words drew a standing ovation and shouts of 'hoo-ah,' the all-purpose Army chant expressing approval."
