BAGHDAD (Reuters) - President Bush arrived in Iraq on Tuesday and was expected to be on the ground for more than five hours and speak to U.S. troops, the White House said.
"Good to see you," a beaming Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told Bush shortly after his arrival at a palace used by the U.S. Embassy.
Bush replied as they shook hands, "Thanks for having me."
Bush was eager to show progress in Iraq and restore American confidence in his handling of the war.
It was his second visit to Iraq and his first since November 2003.
