What I Love About MntGoat

Years ago, I came to appreciate MntGoat for two things. First, the gurus started to hate her; some even banned her from their calls and chat-rooms. She was making sense and they were often off in la-la-land. “Hope-ium” hates facts, I suppose! Second, and at the same time, she backed up everything she said. She didn’t just push an assertion, she crafted a judgement and included facts to support it, often providing links to the sources of her facts. MntGoat totally rocks!!

I am no guru, but I read alot about Iraq. Thanks to MntGoat I have had access to some websites that report on Iraq, usually from within Iraq and the Middle East. As you know from reading her posts, the Farsi-to-English translations are VERY hard to understand!!

I have recently found a resource that ‘aggregates’ news about Iraq. In addition to the usual awkwardly translated material they include a variety of English-speaking sources. That is, people writing in English for an English-speaking audience. It is no replacement for news sourced right from Iraq, but these articles often provide great perspective and context…in my language.

I invite you to check out NewsNow.com’s Iraq page (https://www.newsnow.com/us/World/Middle+East/Iraq).
