"The United States is pouring billions more dollars and fresh platoons of experts into its campaign to "defeat IEDs,"

When I read this I didn't know to either laugh or cry. This is like buying billions of cans of raid to kill termite soldiers instead of killing the queen, or queens(iran). Arm all citizens. Let the 2nd amendment rule. You stop the IEDs, then more car bombs go off. And no, I don't have the solution either. But when our president categorically states that Iran is supplying the components to IEDs, well, that's good enough for me to start fumigating the throne.

A fixed car bomb is considered an IED as well. On the other hand a suicide car bomb is much less effective against our troops because we see it coming and we shoot it down in the vast majority of cases. So yes a solution for IED's will include a solution for fixed car bombs and that will not just only save the lives of our troops but that of many civilians as well.

think about it...rationally.

The technology is multifaceted and would work on any future battlefiled...the IED is a terrorist weapon, whether in Irag or elsewhere. So, IMHO, funds well spent if research leads to workable battlefield solutions to threats posed by IEDs.
