The New Anbar

Anbar Province

To protect “operational security” I am not told about the trip until the night before. The two commanders of coalition forces in Anbar (mostly Marines) are to meet U.S. ambassador Ryan Crocker and presidential envoy Meghan O’Sullivan in Ramadi, the provincial capital, and Iamtogo with them. The Marines have planned a sightseeing tour of what was just recently the most feared insurgent stronghold in Iraq.
