On their recent mission to kill Osama Bin Laden Team 6 of the US Navy SEALS took along guns, protective gear, nightvision goggles and a whole host of other gadgets to get the job done. They also brought one important instrument that doesn’t run on batteries or bullets, but on dog food. A dog of war.

If all goes to plan, Iraqi forces will prove they can take over security in long-time rebel strongholds like Tarmiya and enable U.S. troops to go home. U.S. commanders note progress since they arrived two months ago with the daunting mission of rooting out al Qaeda militants, improving ties between Iraqi forces and the local population and building an effective police force from scratch.
