For your reading pleasure today while the national parties are busy naval-gazing and wondering who is the most pure of all. First is a review of the situation in Diyala Province Iraq as al-Qaeda is purged from one of their last remaining areas of operation. This time the sound of Stryker personnel carriers rolling into […]

Found some interesting articles on Iraq I never got to post over the weekend. First is a comparison between the reality of Iraq vs. the fantasy of American politics on Iraq by Michael Gordon, who has been reporting on Iraq for the NY Times and was one of the first reporters to note the successes […]

H/T to reader Merlin for noting this excellent post by Bill Roggio, which confirms many of my speculations regarding the retreating nature of al-Qaeda in Iraq: Nearly one year to the day of the announcement of the “surge” of US forces to Iraq and the change in counterinsurgency plan, Iraqi and Coalition forces have shrunk […]
