I found it quite fluffy and sensationalist. Basic geopolitics and the recent history of Iraq meets basic unconventional warfare. Outstanding journalism for me would be more like this:

Edit: Since I'm traveling I don't have my bookmarks available, but there are much better articles on the subject. This article takes a single event and extrapolates from it instead of, as you should, placing the event in a bigger context. It's dangerous because it makes the reader believe things that are just concluded by the reporter and not necessarily supported by facts.
