Musings On Iraq In The News


I was interviewed by Rudaw for the article “Kurdish Oil Puts Region at Political Crossroads” and by Egypt's Ahram Online for "ISIL jihadists push towards Baghdad." I was quoted in "The Ever-Imploding Iraq" in Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish. I talked with the Loopcast about the current security crisis in Iraq and American Contractor about a number of events going on as well.
