Bush Makes Farewell Visit to Iraq BBC
US President George Bush has arrived in Iraq on a surprise, farewell visit to the country that has defined his presidency since the invasion in 2003. The White House said Mr Bush would meet Iraqi leaders, celebrate the new security agreement between the nations and thank US troops serving there.
The visit comes a day after US Defence Secretary Robert Gates told US troops the Iraq mission was in its "endgame". Mr Gates has been picked to stay on as defence secretary by Barack Obama.
Mr Bush's first stop was the Iraqi presidential palace where he held talks with President Jalal Talabani. He was then to meet Prime Minister Nouri Maliki.
