FORWARD OPERATING BASE BERNSTEIN, TUZ, Iraq – Iraq’s infrastructure has been jumping hurdles since 2003, but now it’s being rebuilt at an unprecedented rate in the Tuz Qada, according to local shaykhs and provincial leadership.
Lt. Col. Chris Stenman, commander of the Special Troops Battalion, 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, has been working in the Salah ad-Din Province since early November. Stenman and his team of experts routinely meet with key leaders in the area, assisting in local development and helping their Iraqi counterparts take the first tenuous steps away from the dictatorial rule to which they were accustomed.
“This is a young feeling – the relationship between me and democracy,” said Shaykh Adil Uthman, a tribal leader from Tuz who represents his clan in the District Council. “Most of Iraq’s people...read full story

    • I'm sad we "had" to go, but as usual we did 1,000 times more good than bad. The good was intentional and the bad was mostly accidential or at least done by a few meat heads.

      Since they were mostly in the 10th century infrastructure wise, it wouldn't be too hard to made huge advances.

      You sure won't see this story on any main stream media.

    • It's sad that after all the American lives we've lost that a story like this isn't even read. I'm glad we went to Iraq. Call me stupid but I do. It's good to see that we're finally progressing. I think we definetly underestimated the time and effort that would go in to something like ousting a dictator and then giving it back to the people. Maybe it's a lost cause but I hear the girls in Iraq actually go to school now. Maybe the "West" isn't for the whole world but everyone deserves education. I hope it turns out for the best. Nice story AngieWiggins.
