On Fallujah and Mosul

I haven’t posted anything about the battle for Fallujah because I don’t think that I have much meaningful to contribute. Probably the best coverage of the situation in the blogosphere is on Winds of Change. They’re updating the information there on a continuous basis so check back frequently. You can get on-site information from Kevin Sites.

There are two Iraqi bloggers that I know of in Mosul: Aunt Najma of A Star from Mosul and Ibrahim Khalil of Iraq Today. A relative of Aunt Najma’s has been killed in the fighting. Her post is pretty heart-rending. Stop by and offer her some words of consolation. Ibrahim Khalil has some interesting facts, semi-facts, and analysis. I think he’s representing what people there think pretty well.

Greyhawk is also reporting from Mosul.

    For information on Fallujah, Iraq and the Middle East generally I recommend Juan Cole’s blog “Informed Consent” at http://juancole.com
