Welcome

The Estimate, a newsletter published since 1989, has been on hiatus while it converts to an online publication. In the meantime, this blog is intended to provide analysis to our loyal subscribers, who will receive subscriptions when we are up and running. Meanwhile you may still access the old archive here, and we'll be reporting more and more frequently on our progress.

Watch this space for more news, and please check out the poll of subscribers (below and right), which may add questions as time goes on.

Launching Commentary: We're BAAACK...

Okay, I'm not sure when we'll have the electronic version of The Estimate up and running, but for those of you who've felt deprived of our commentary, you can visit this site regularly. It's free and open to the world, but the best stuff will soon be available by subscription only, and those who've paid up in advance will get a long subscription. Stand by for that. And this blog will soon either appear at or be linked from theestimate.com, once I figure out how to do that.

This is the week Petraeus comes down from the mountain with the tablets, and with General Jones and the GAO having already checked in, there's plenty to talk about, though I don't know if I'll have much to add to what the mainstream media tells you. Smaller things -- Moroccan parliamentary elections, Fatah's new efforts in Gaza, the recent reshuffle in the IRGC in Iran -- may all prove more Estimate-classic analysis. Stick around. We're back.
