Although U.S. troops in Iraq said they appreciated President Bush's recent surprise visit, thousands of them have petitioned the White House to arrange surprise visits from relatives and spouses as well. 'As great as it was to get a visit from the commander in chief, given the choice, I'd rather see my mom,' said Army Cpl. Emilio Salazar, who is serving his third tour of duty. 'Or my dad, or even my girlfriend. I'm just saying, they could fit a lot of people on Air Force One.' An estimated two-thirds of American military personnel in Iraq have signed the petition, with the other third saying that Iraq is still far too dangerous a place for anyone's loved ones to spend any time.
