Even if we were to leave Iraq today, we would still need to learn how to defeat Roadside IEDs. There will always be more deployments of our troops and we need an effective defense against IEDs.

Just wait until Terror cells are placing IEDs in and around Washington, DC or New York City. People will be screaming for solutions.....

Astute observation. I grow weary of hearing the Iraq conflict spoken of in isolation from the ongoing WOT. Iraq is a training ground for many conflicts far into the future, and what we learn there will serve us in those conflicts.

Our armed forces will be so deadly and effective in urban warfare, future enemies will be in deep doo doo.

Since I understand that most are ignited by cell phone signals, (they plant the bomb and ignite it by "phoning it"), surely there must be a way for a computer program to speed dial millions of numbers, and maybe blow up some bombs and bombers in the process. (Lots of nuisance "rings" with nobody there, but those BOOMs in the distance would be worth the bother.)

Isn't that what all those "traffic cams" are for. To many camera's filming everybody in America to get away with this for to long.

When the neighborhoods of America have gotten bad enough to harbor bomb factories and bomber training than we have really sunken in a hole. I could see this type of thing happening in france or germany but I don't think we've been penetrated that bad, yet. I hope not at least!
