This site is nothing short of Brilliant. Its live in Iraq, from the perspective of the people living there, its right there at ground Zero. This is something that should show up on a lot of desks in Iraq, and Washington DC should be seeing. Want to fix Iraq and get out, well, here it is from the perspective of those living it. Their stories. I for one don't like a lot of what I see there, of a number of reasons. You will see yourself.
And no I am not affiliated with the site!

Hmmm, it looks a little slick to be a down and dirty website for “dissidents.”
Its legit, run by a journalist. I saw the story on FoxNews.com: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,307339,00.html and then searched for the site of the blog. Thats what I found.

Kind of indicates a pretty sever bias.
1st off Iraq isn't broken. Second, we will be there as long as oil is the primary energy source of the Western Economy. The free flow of oil from the ME is a vital US National Security, and Economic, interest. No US President is ever going to be able to just walk away from that region and allow it to fall either into chaos or under the control of hostile powers like Russia or China via their proxy Iran
There there is the problem of inherent bias. Where you put your cameras can result in a very skewed world view. For example, putting all your contacts and cameras in Harlem is going to give you a much different view of New York then putting them all in Manhattan or Long Island. Since this place seems to only take commentary and posting from Anti American Insurgent types, it give a highly distorted viewpoint of condition on the ground.
This is a nice try at appearing credibility but still pretty obvious propaganda.
Maybe, Maybe not. Its another perspective, and frankly knowledge is power. I did say I didn’t like a lot of what I saw and for a number of reasons. None the less, I think it a site that will provide a wealth of information. Worth looking at.
Notice that the coverage is 100% negative? That should of been your 1st tip off that this is not an intellectually serious site.
I should have gone to our comments section before going to your blogs.
Its not my blog.
