MOSUL, IRAQ: The Battle for Mosul over the past several years has worked as a microcosm for the larger Iraqi conflict, with Coalition and Iraqi forces successfully imposing its will only after Al Qaeda and other insurgent groups held large parts of the city and region for long periods. Control over the city of 1.9 million people and the surrounding Ninewa province have been lost to Coalition and government forces twice since 2003. Only a successful security operation in May has brought attacks to their lowest recorded levels since the conflict began. Operation “Lion’s Roar” in May involved 5,000 Coalition forces and 55,000 Iraqi Police and Army members and cut insurgent attacks in the city to less than one a day during the following two months. The tactics used to defeat the Insurgents was similar to successes in other parts of the country: joint operation with improving Iraqi forces, a focus on intelligence gathering, and economic reconstruction to create enough jobs to lower a national unemployment rate of 25-40 percent that is higher in rural areas. “The fight in the North is still on-going. It’s a balanced fight, pursuing insurgent on the one hand and doing reconstruction and supporting Iraqi government activities,” said Major General Mark Hertling, commander of Multinational Division North and the US 1st Armored Division in an interview on July 22. “When you talk about the growth of security, you have to mention that the gov ...

This week’s The New Yorker, a leader of highbrow social and political commentary, won’t be remembered for Ryan Lizza’s article on Sen. Barack Obama’s political upbringing on the south side of Chicago. The magazine’s cover shows Obama and his wife as radicals pounding fists in solidarity. The scene is the Oval Office with a portrait of Osama Bin Laden above a smoldering American flag. The intention was to ridicule efforts by the far right to caricature the Obamas as Insurgents to cherished American values. Despite it’s clear purpose, the cover ignited a media frenzy. Granted, the best satire aims to deride an attitude or behavior exhibited by a larger subset and only a thin swatch of the population actually believes that Michelle hates America or that Barack has ties to Al Qaeda, but it doesn’t mean that swatch doesn’t exist. In February, a press operator at a small newspaper in Kansas wrote a column in which he called Obama a “Muslim fundamentalist.” He went on to compare voting for Obama, being of “Muslim origins,” to “spitting on the graves” of 9/11 victims. Despite no proof Obama has ever been a practicing Muslim, that column was printed for all to see. That alone shows there are people who believe the absurd scene portrayed by The New Yorker. And the best way to cast that belief as absurd is to paint it as absurdly as possible — just like The New Yorker did. By it’s very nature, satire should make people uncomfortable. It’s a mirro ...
