U.S. President George W. Bush landed here on Monday on a sudden visit to the war-torn country, pan-Arab satellite TV al-Jazeera reported.
Bush, joined by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and national security advisor Steven Hadley, landed in the al-Asad airbase in Iraq's western province of Anbar, the channel said.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates also arrived to the war- torn country but he was travelling separately, it added.
The surprise visit came a week before Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador in Baghdad, would submit their long-waited report about the conflict in Iraq before the U.S. Congress.
