Back in Iraq

I’m back in Iraq for a brief embed with a Police Transition Team in the Habbaniyah region, which is just west of Fallujah. This will complement my coverage from Fallujah in December of 2006, and will allow me to compare and contrast the state of the Iraqi Police in the two regions.

If you would like to contribute to this embed, you can use the PayPal button. Or, if you prefer to send a check, email me at [email protected] and I will send you an address. Thank you as always for your support and best wishes.

    Sorry for not contributing lately, a bit broke, but I’ll try my best to send something you way when that changes. You’re doing an excellent job. Thanks for all the great posts lately.

    Bill,
    Stay safe and Thank you for your efforts! Look forward to your updates and God be with you.
    Michelle Malkin just got back and has posted footage at hotair.com. One of the Iraqi’s speaking english at the end said it all. They need Americans to help them through this difficult time.

    Stay safe, thanks for your reports and you’ll, as our troops will be in my prayers. Can you confirm or comment on reports at Gateway Pundit about the Turks and Iranian troops massing on the border near the Kurdish area???
    thanks mucho.

    Habenaya. Write about 3-1 Bde’s Panhards and the 1IAD DivTroops if you get a chance.
    That is also the Regional Training Center.
    On another topic in Iraq:
    – I still have not seen a press release or formal announcement that 10th IAD has turned over to IGFC. Only what Gen Casey said on 15 Jan.
    – If I hadn’t asked CPIC about the ID of the “fifth of 10 Divisions”, I still would not know:
