David Ignatius is not a Bush administration cheerleader, not by a longshot. But he seems to be one of the more serious, objective and non-partisan columnists around. He toured Baghdad with Central Command head Gen. John Abizaid. It's worth a read.

Gen. John Abizaid made headlines three weeks ago when he told Congress that civil war was a possibility in Iraq. Yesterday he went into two of Baghdad's most dangerous neighborhoods to see whether a new U.S.-led offensive against the death squads and insurgents is making any progress.

Abizaid invited me and a CBS reporter to join him on this journey into the heart of the Baghdad battle zone. In what follows, I want to draw a picture of what we saw.

The MSM rarely provides this kind of on-the-ground reporting, preferring simply to air video of the daily bombings that terrorist forces time for the East coast morning news cycle. Read Ignatius's account.
