UK press: Bush's turkey mission thrills papers

[emad]

From BBC News:

A picture of the US president carrying a huge turkey is described by The Times as "one of the most audacious publicity coups in White House history". A similar photo of George W Bush in a hangar at Baghdad airport where US troops were having Thanksgiving dinner is carried by The Daily Mirror under the headline "The Turkey has landed". The Times says Mr Bush became the first American president to visit Iraq amid extraordinary secrecy.

3. I wondered about that one too....just what price in human terms

will have to be paid for this shameless electioneering stunt. This must be one of the most toxic administrations ever to keep up such a denial line: still no Saddam, still no Osama, still no WMDs. And now Shrub is telling the soldiers that their work in Iraq is keeping terrorists out of the US, when he knows damned well that all the 9-11 links to Saddam have been disproved.
