Just published an interview with Emma Sky. We discussed her time in Iraq working for the CPA, during the Surge and afterward during the withdrawal. Also tried to evaluate how the U.S. did intervening in and trying to rebuild Iraq. Here's a link.

Joel,

Congratulations on the interview, Emma Sky for you gave far clearer answers than she did when I listened to her. I have copied your post to the Emma Sky thread.

Just published my weekly security report for the 2nd wk of June in Iraq. IS launched 67 car bombs during the week. Most were destroyed before reaching their target was huge escalation over the 24 the week before. Heaving fighting continued in Anbar where govt forces continue to struggle to control Garma and in Salahaddin over Baiji and the refinery there. Read the whole report here.
