Bush’s brief visit to Baghdad surprises Iraqis

Advertisements [?]

Baghdad, November 28: Iraqi politicians on Friday said that they were surprised and baffled by US President George W. Bush's brief visit to US troops at a military base at the city's main airport.

"We cannot consider Bush's arrival at Baghdad international airport on Thursday as a visit to Iraq," said Mahmoud Othman, a member of the US-appointed Iraqi governing council.

"Nobody notified US as the governing council about this visit. Bush did not conduct any official meeting with Iraqis," Othman said. "He did not meet with ordinary Iraqis. Bush was only trying to boost the morale of his troops," he added.
