Year After Baghdad, Bush Visits Troops by Phone
Last year, Bush secretly flew to Baghdad for Thanksgiving dinner with U.S. troops.

This year, the president spent the holiday at his Crawford, Texas, ranch, where he also rode his bike, chopped some brush and had a traditional turkey-and-stuffing meal with family.

Bush's Thanksgiving Day call list included Cpl. Kevin Norris of the Marine Expeditionary Force in Falluja, where U.S. troops launched a major offensive against insurgents. He also called troops from Afghanistan to Djibouti and Qatar.

2. A bit too dangerous, is it?
Aw, shame.

If this man can't summon up the courage to visit anything more than Halifax Airport in Canada, and needs 15,000 troops to visit a South American country where he then stages a photo-op breaking up a fight ...

Wow. What a man. What a courageous leader.
