Afghanistan and Iraq articles

Just want to let you know about a couple of articles I published this week that may be of interest. One is Operation Phantom Fury - the Beginning of the End of Al Qaeda in Iraq, by Richard S. Lowry. Saturday will be the fifth anniversary of Phantom Fury, the second battle of Fallujah.

The other article is What Next in Afghanistan?, an analysis/debate on the best option for success in Afghanistan that my employer arranged. The authors are strategist Ralph Peters and DoD intel expert John Sutherland. We asked each of them to write their opinions separately, then sent each one the other's comments and gave them a chance to rebut. Feel free to weigh in with your own opinions.
