    As the firing continues, the Americans yell at the Iraqis to run across streets and alleyways. Later they comment on the Iraqis' reluctance to fire their weapons but note that they are better at that than they used to be. The Americans and their Iraqi allies escape the fight uninjured. Their U.S. officers see progress. "We train them, we show them, we instill that pride," Siebold says. "It's gonna be a process. I think they can do it." --By Charles Crain/Tall 'Afar
