Are You Ready for the Country? Because It's Time to Go
I was just told that I am leaving in 2 - 4 days for the Anbar Province, where I will apparently remain for the rest of my stay in this lovely country. So, recent uptick aside, there's a good chance that I will again post very lightly, if at all. It's a surreptitious things for me here anyway.
At least Anbar is pretty calm, for now. Of course I hope it stays that way (even more so now that I will be living there and travelling across it regularly), but I've seen too many "pacified" areas where the "local tribes are working with Coalition Forces" turn sour and go right back to being hotbeds of violence to believe that this is permanent.
