Bush PRAISES Iraq vote to keep US troops for 3 more years. Fabulous. Now watch this drumstick.
CAMP DAVID, Md. – President Bush on Thursday applauded Iraq's parliamentary vote approving an agreement allowing U.S. troops to remain for three more years, saying it "affirms the growth" of democracy there.

"Two years ago, this day seemed unlikely," Bush said in a statement from his Maryland mountaintop retreat. "But the success of the surge and the courage of the Iraqi people set the conditions for these two agreements to be negotiated and approved by the Iraqi parliament."

Bush, who was spending Thanksgiving Day with his family at Camp David, also praised a separate accord that he said "sets the foundation" for a long-standing relationship between Washington and Baghdad.
