Iraq the Model is a currently-dormant weblog whose last post was made on October 5, 2011.[1] It was allegedly set up by brothers Omar and Muhammed Fadhil which details accounts of the Iraq War from Baghdad. The blog was often cited by conservative commentators as a source for the good news in Iraq that the American media is not reporting,[2][3] in contrast to other Iraqi-written blogs such as Baghdad Burning, which show far less pleasant or optimistic scenes from post-invasion Iraq.
