Iraq - The New Country

Mohammed a 25 year old dentist in Baghdad runs a compelling site entitled "Last of the Iraqis". Today he has surpassed even himself in compiling and posting a 5 minute video which provides both footage and English sub-titles to the popular and telling Iraqi song "The New Country". It is not to be missed.

Harry Barnes,

I checked "my blog" for the first time today. Didn't realize I had one.

"Last of Iraqis" is a great guy. I have exchanged e-mails with him. His friend was released.

Some of his friends e-mailed MNF-I on his behalf (not sure it had anything to do with his release though). We would have copied you on it if we knew you wanted to help.

Feel free to e-mail me. And I can copy you on other interesting stuff that I send out every now and them.

HB, please ask any questions you might have regarding the ISF, how quickly they can take security responsibility, and what other countries can contribute to the ISF if they choose to here:

DJ is unbelievable. His analysis is the best out there.
