Army Maj. Russell J. Chun is a patient man who takes victories one at a time in Iraq, and often in small doses, but he would like the American public to know those small victories are occurring.

Take something as basic as unemployment statistics.

'Hey, sir, when are they going to talk about our victories?'

Never. Get used to it.

*PING!

On a recent day, he was working with the Iraqi Media Network on framing a Constitutional debate and how to develop confidence in the banking system.

"I'm just one of hundreds, thousands, of regular Joes out there who are doing something like this," Chun said. "We're not sort of sitting in a foxhole somewhere. We're taking some chances. We're rubbing shoulders with different people."

Thanks for the ping, E.D.!

..."the infrastructure — no one invested in it," Chun said. "So when we started plugging in all the doohickeys that make it go, the wires couldn't handle it. We had to re-do all the wiring. We had to set up a capability that was never there before."

Plugging in doohickeys takes time, talented troops, money.
