This feeds right into my newest article on the diminution of AQI. They're singing their last song. They're finished. Now for the Shi'a militia. As for Omar, I followed his travails through Jordan only to return to Iraq. I am glad that he is finally matriculating in the U.S. now. Well, then so be it.

Now for the Shi’a militia. As for Omar, I followed his travails through Jordan only to return to Iraq. I am glad that he is finally matriculating in the U.S. now.

It was entirely virtual! Radio SAWA put out/concocted a story, which was then picked up by other outlets, and, according to Omar, even quoted by MPs. But I have scoured the Web and communicated with MND-PAO, and it is a FALSE STORY! The return attack and massacre of villagers NEVER HAPPENED! And I am confident enough now of this conclusion to defy anyone to come up with on-site testimony that it did. (Omar is currently blogging from Columbia University where he has begun a graduate studies program.) A notable correction: AQI’s return attack on Hawr Rijab was even cheaper than it looked.
