It was the "BLACKHAWK DOWN" scenario the Fedeyeen Sadaam thought would be so effective. Cars and trucks trying to kill our troops. 50 Cals took both of them out. What the idiots didn't realize is that in BLACKHAWK DOWN, those 'special vehicles' did NOT go up against Bradleys and M1A1 TANKS. Stupid....the future gene pool has just been enhanced.

I agree. An image that sticks in my mind is the story of the group of Sadamites in the bed of a dumptruck that tried to attack an M1 on a bridge. I haven't seen any video, but the reporter said they didn't get very close to the tank.

Yeah I think you're right. "Blackhawk Down" is apparently popular among the jihadi (I saw a quote to that effect posted here on FR from an Iraqi video shop owner).

So the jihadi go plowing toward an American soldier, not considering the difference between a soldier on foot, and one sitting at the bow of an Abrams or a Humvee outfitted with TOW missles.

It was proven in Afghanistan, with the innumerable domestic arrests, and now again with the jihadis in Iraq, that the Islamists recruit from the lowest of the IQ gene pool.
