First Lady Laura Bush says her husband first told her about a trip to Iraq six weeks before Thanksgiving, and she ranks his surprise trip among “the best-kept secrets ever.”
President Bush showed up Thanksgiving night at Baghdad’s airport for a brief visit with troops and officials.
“I was very concerned at first,” the first lady said Monday on CNN’s “Larry King Live.” “By that Wednesday night, I knew they probably wouldn’t go unless they really thought it was 99 percent safe. So I was not that concerned . . . once they had left.”
