TIME.com: Can Petraeus Salvage Iraq?
There is good happening all over Iraq, but what gets advertised are the explosions. Civil Affairs soldiers, along with every one else in country, spend an awful lot of time fixing schools and hospitals, paving the roads, contracting electrical upgrades, digging wells in remote villages, fixing water treatment plants along the Tigris River, distributing humanitarian aid, and the list goes on. LTG Petraeus did a bang-up job up here in Northern Iraq, so this Time Magazine article isn't just blowing smoke. Our job up here has been made a lot easier, thanks to the efforts of the "Band of Brothers" -- 101st Airborne Division.
