Last week White House videographer, Arun Chaudhary, visited Iraq and covered some of the work of the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Baghdad. This week his report appears in a YouTube segment called West Wing Week.
I didn't get any camera time but I was along on the Um Al Abeed trip. The Sheik in the video has been a strong force for good. These are the kinds of folks who are actually making a positive difference in Iraq. These farmers are working hard to survive and improve the plight of their villages. The question is; with PRTs and the last of the US military leaving Iraq next year will the work have a lasting economic and political impact on the region and Iraq as a whole?
Be sure to check out West Wing Week on YouTube.
