National Police try to repair their reputation in Samarra

"(A joint patrol beginning in the early morning desert outside of Samarra.)

Samarra, Iraq-
Irreversible momentum. The kind that can't be undone by the assassinations and bombings. The kind that will continue to build among Iraqis and last when U.S. forces hand Samarra over to them.

The 2nd Battalion of the 327th Infantry partners with Iraqi National Police on almost daily patrols here, but the outsider police presence has been accepted by the city's residents more slowly."
