Power Line offers this pessimistic assessment of the situation in Iraq, from someone on the ground there.

Beginning Tuesday, I will have some guest bloggers for about a week. Among them will be Teflon Don and Badger 6, who both blog from Anbar province, where anti-Iraqi forces are operating hot and heavy. I plan to ask them to give their thoughts about the pessimistic view offered by the Power Line correspondent. I’ll be interested in what they have to say.
