an American unit in Baghdad. They are safe, sound, hale and hearty. Michelle

Michelle and I are embedded with a unit in Baghdad that’s responsible
for the “standing up” part of the US plan to get Iraq ready to become
master of its own destiny. This unit trains Iraqi army and police,
which are co-located on the base here, while it also sees to the
security and humanitarian needs of the community surrounding the post.
The US Army troops here have a complex and daunting mission that
stretches and stresses them to the limit, but they are performing the
mission with a gallantry and devotion that would make all Americans
proud if you could see it for yourself.
