THIS posting by Michael Totten is the kind of reporting that got done during WW2 by the best of the reporters. Totten is on his own and has been in Iraq for a long time.
The story of Anbar Province and Ramadi is one of the great success stories of the surge. Hence, there’s an almost total blackout in the mainstream media.
Lots of pictures – and real stories about what’s going on in one province in Iraq.
THIS is why we’re there. THIS has to scare the right-wing Islamists to death. THIS, if it is sustained and spreads will change the course of history in the middle east.
And if we abandon these people now and let them be slaughtered, God help us!

Thank you for sharing this article about what’s going on over there. It’s very encouraging! I appreciate how the journalist did not come across as trying to push some agenda but rather, he wrote about what he saw and heard.
