US President Bush flew to Iraq under extraordinary secrecy and security Thursday to spend Thanksgiving with US troops and thank them for "defending the American people from danger." The unannounced visit brought wild cheers from battle-worn soldiers, stunned the nation and even surprised the president's parents, who had been expecting him at the Thanksgiving table at his Crawford, Texas ranch. The president returned to US soil early Friday, as his plane landed at Andrews Air Force base outside Washington shortly after midnight, before continuing on to Texas to complete the dramatic journey. Bush, the first US president to visit Iraq, promised that insurgents testing America's commitment will not be rewarded with a US retreat.
