Kimberly Kagan's latest Iraq Report is now available at THE DAILY STANDARD. Kagan discusses the military attempt to secure Diyala by clearing out the al Qaeda, reconciling the reconcilables, and restoring basic government services. There's a lot of information there, and, as always, Kagan presents it with a level of detail and an understanding of military affairs that is absent from most media analysis.

Kagan's Institute for the Study of War has also announced the launch of a new website highlighting the work of the Iraq Project. Kagan writes:

The American military makes an enormous amount of information available to the public, but in forms and formats that most non-specialists find difficult to understand, let alone synthesize into a coherent picture of what is happening on the ground. The new website delivers publications and research materials to help all Americans understand the ongoing conflict in Iraq: the lengthy and fully documented Iraq Report, which narrates the most important developments in the campaign; backgrounders, which are shorter essays on narrower aspects of the war; static and interactive maps developed by ISW to help readers navigate the war; webcast interviews with U.S. commanders in Iraq; historical background on earlier phases of this ongoing conflict; and geographic and thematic overviews that aid learning about the war.
