After twice cancelling appearances, President Bush finally made it to the Boy Scout Jamboree for a speech. The Jamboree at Fort AP Hill, Virginia had been plagued by disaster:- Four leaders died when a tent pole came in contact with a power line
- Hundreds of Scouts had to be treated for heat illnesses, waiting in record heat and dress uniforms for the President's first planned visit
- The President canceled the first trip after heavy thunderstorms hit the Jamboree
- A helicopter carrying photographers was forced to make an emergency landing in the middle of the Jamboree
Hey, after the week they had, 18 months in Iraq may not sound so bad. (Reuters)
