US President George W. Bush made an unannounced farewell visit to Baghdad yesterday, just weeks before he leaves office and bequeaths the unpopular Iraq War to President-elect Barack Obama.
Bush flew secretly to the Iraqi capital to hold talks with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and address a rally of US troops.
"Bush has come to meet Iraqi leaders, thank the troops and celebrate the new security agreement," a White House official said.
