President Bush visited some veterans injured and Iraq and played war video games while he was there. One of the war games included a virtual Baghdad scenario.
Bush tried his hand at the game with two soldiers during a visit to a rehabilitation center in Texas that treats veterans wounded in Iraq.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Bush helped "shoot the bad guys" in a Baghdad neighborhood, albeit virtually.
She said the president saw several "cutting edge virtual reality games" that allow recovering soldiers at the center in San Antonio to simulate riding in a car or boat.
Apart from the computer game session, Bush's visit with badly wounded soldiers was often emotional as he spoke with patients who had lost limbs or suffered severe burns in the Iraq war.
As much as these video games represent what is happening in Iraq there is no risk of death or the risk losing a limb like our soldiers face on a daily basis in the real war.
