Iraq: What is going on?

"Its been a while since my last post and I have had time to rest, take stock and come to some picture of what is happening. And what is happening? is the question on everybody's mind. The problem with blogs, like most of the news media, is that they all present small strips of information but without the thread linking them together. This is why blog aggregators provide such a vital function. We pull strings across diverse opinions. So this post is about what is going on. But its not all heavy politics - if you read to the end find out what Iraqi's who know really think of India."
Asterism

Hard to argue with that.
