Iraq news from someone who's actually there

Captain Ed Morissey brings us a Marine Corps Major's version of recent events in Iraq, the most recent National Intelligence Estimate, and generally how he thinks we're doing. Even if I hadn't found Captain Ed to be not just one of the best but most accurate bloggers in the English-speaking world, I would recommend this as a reality check with respect to Iraq. Bailing is the absolute worst of the available options now.
