Next stop: Sadr City

Bill Ardolino is going back to Iraq. Godspeed.

I'm going to Baghdad next week to embed with the 2/1 Stryker Calvary Regiment operating in and around Sadr City. The showdown between the Mahdi Army and US and Iraqi government forces is currently the most important story in Iraq being covered (and miscovered) by the mainstream press, and I'd like to provide an accurate, on-the-ground perspective.

The embed is accredited and covered through Bill Roggio's Public Multimedia, Inc., and the majority of my work will be featured over at The Long War Journal. These trips are expensive and rely on reader donations, so please consider making a tax deductible donation to PMI.

Canadian Flea-readers are presumably not eligible for the deduction but might consider the money well spent regardless.
