The two leaders held a news conference In London as scheduled after talks on Iraq though the Turkey blasts overshadowed Bush's state visit to London -- the first ever by a U.S. president.

What the fuck. Seriously. Talk about being a little remiss.

a = the?

nope. apparently, this was the first STATE visit a US President has ever made to London?!

there are a lot of different kinds of visits, but a "State" visit is about a country receiving another country's head, with lots of pomp and shit; less formal kinds are cast as more "two countries meeting, and it happens to be in London".

so i'm told.
