I don't know if any of the talkinghead socialists like Peter Jennings have noticed but there is an overall strategy that is clearly being followed.

The Military's ongoing Offensive in the the War in Iraq is proceeding WELL on approximately Five Fronts in Iraq

1. Military rooting out of thugs/terrorists. (The hard work of our brave warriors.)
2. Infrastructure reconstruction/renewal coordinated by our Civil Affairs personnel (as in this article)
3. Political reconstruction coordinated by Bremer & Staff in building new local, regional, and national governments, and armies.
4. Economic reconstruction coordinated again by Bremer & staff in encouraging/revitalizing economy and formerly moribund industrial/petroleum output.
5. Institutional reconstruction revitalizing/renewing medical, educational, and social service institutions; civil affairs teamed with medical and other assets. (Article last week on training new methods to Iraqi obstetricians is an example.)
