From Rusafa to Sadr City
Bill Ardolino posts more photography from Baghdad, this time featuring daylight. I am struck by something that should have occurred to me seeing Ardolino's first round of images: We can see a lot of faces now that before were hidden. Not only do women have an elementary liberty denied them by the Islamists and their "progressive" allies. So too do the police and - by extension - their families. It seems the days of the Ba'athist night riders have come and gone.
The 3rd Squadron of the 89th Cavalry conducts operations across central and northeast Baghdad: from the Tigris River, to downtown, to residential areas in northern Rusafa District, to the edge of conflict areas in Sadr City. The 3-89 Cav's missions include force protection of Iraqi Police Stations, day and night mounted and dismounted patrols, and raids on suspected Mahdi Army roadside bomb and weapons caches.
