Abu Muqawama, one of the first blogs I started reading, was always an interesting analysis of COIN efforts (for those of us Navy types who like to read about the Long War).
Sadly, Andrew is folding up shop …
Allow me to re-introduce myself: My name is Andrew Exum, and I have edited and authored the “Abu Muqawama” blog since February 2007. After much deliberation and consultation, I have decided to stop daily blogging. I owe it to the readership to explain both why and also how it will affect this site.
Not surprising, really. Blogging is a hard business to keep up if you want to maintain outside interests.
There’s a relative few who can do it successfully for any length of time. I don’t think I’m one of them, but thanks for those who keep the torch lit.
As for Andrew, Fair Winds and all that…
