President Bush is in Iraq for an unannounced visit to meet with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other top officials.

Mr. Bush landed at Baghdad airport today (Tuesday) and took a six-minute helicopter ride to the heavily fortified Green Zone.

Officials say Mr. Maliki was only told of the visit five minutes before he met the U.S. president. Mr. Bush also plans to address U.S. forces during his visit -- his second to Iraq since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

Before the trip was made public, Mr. Bush had been expected to meet by video conference with Iraqi leaders today (Tuesday) from his retreat in Maryland outside Washington, D.C.

On Monday, Mr. Bush discussed with advisors how to help Iraq deal with security, economic and energy problems. He also vowed the United States will stand by Iraq as its new defense minister assesses the situation.
