I know all of Iraq is a combat zone, but what is the percentage of troops killed by IED's rather than in firefights etc?

Is there anything that can be done to protect the troops better from IED's?

For the sake of perspective my grandfather was wounded by a roadside bomb in Germany in 1947. That's two years after the war.

In this case as in that, the terrorists are solely responsible for the attacks.

Is that the actual headline? It's the dumbest damn question I've seen in a while. The Killers are responsible! Secondarily, those who give aid and comfort and support to our enemies through their words and deeds are responsible. Is it coincidence that the attacks have increased while the state of Gitmo discussion rages???

By giving hope to the insurgents, Durbin, Kennedy and Pelosi for example appear to be unwitting assistants to the insurgency.

Unwitting?
Hardly, American lives mean nothing in their quest to regain
