Description:

This week on War News Radio, we proudly present some of our favorite pieces from this past spring.

First, we find out about the slow progress that has been made towards assembling Iraq's security forces.

Next, joblessness is taking a unique toll on women in Iraq. We hear about how the unemployment situation is changing the work environment for women.

Then, we speak with US Army Brigadier General Edward Cardon about how oil infrastructure fits into the American military strategy for rebuilding Iraq.

Finally, in our series "A Day in the Life", we speak with an Iraqi refugee who made it to the UK by way of Turkey and Greece--but now thinks leaving home was a mistake.
