President Bush snuck off the ranch to fly to Iraq for his first visit to have a two hour Turkey dinner with the troops. Meanwhile, Hillary flew to Afganistan to have dinner there with the troops. She will then go on to Iraq.

Bush's visit was top secret. In fact, his office put out word he'd be doing the family thing in Crawford:

Otherwise, Bush is celebrating Thanksgiving much like he always does - alongside family members, enjoying a traditional feast of turkey and fixings, only this time with a pecan pie made from nuts from trees on his ranch. Bush arrived here Monday night after spending the day at Fort Carson, an Army base near Colorado Springs, Colo.

He was clearly relishing the prospect of the time away from Washington as he appeared before GOP donors Tuesday in Las Vegas and described his morning on the ranch with his wife, Laura.

In the news today, several thousand more marines are headed to Iraq.

Update: Fox News accompanied the President, CNN did not.
