It will save lives - and it will demoralize the Saddam bitter enders and Islamonazi jihadniks fighting to drive us out of Iraq. They're the ones now being placed on the defensive. Things are looking up over there.

Have they tried the Israeli "work accident" method, where they use an EMP generator to induce a current in the detonator and just blow the thing up from a safe distance?

American genius triumphs again!

"Necessity is the mother of invention."

And we Americans are her children.

“It can take up to 20 pounds of TNT and everybody inside will survive,” Fletcher said.
“The vehicle is down, but the passengers are all right.”


Imagine looking at the video cam, maneuvering the remote control arm...
and some terrorist "sets it off".
Next thing you know, there's a big boom, the armored vehicle is jumping about
5-10 feet up and then falls down with a thud...
and you are just fine.

Heck, I might volunteer for that duty...sounds as exciting and a lot safer than
bull-riding at the rodeo!

At times, locals will point out potential bomb sights, for fear that an attack could harm their children, Lipe said.

We're not talking the Norden bomb sight here; I think they mean "potential bomb sites". Stars and Stripes should have caught this. For some reason the confusion of these two words seems to be getting very common.

This is fantastic news! I've been wondering for a while now if there was any such equipment. After all,I said to myself one day, there's kieger counters(sp?)to detect metal so why don't they have such equipment to detect roadside bombs?! Thanks very mcuh xzins for the great news.

We see a problem, we find a solution. There is nothing more innovative than Americans.

We've lost the majority of our soldiers from the IED .. and I think that's why they keep using it.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my 19 years in the Army,” Savre said. “The senior leaders saw the threat and immediately bought more [systems].”

That one jumped out at me.

Sigh of relief. Puts the "buy american" requirement in the 2004 defense authorization (passed by the House) in a whole new perspective.
