Oh, how I pray that it was done by a remote control held by the good guys. I've been praying for the use of bomb-detonating microwaves, and the like, for 3 years.

I've heard of the Israelis doing this. I'll bet we're doing it, too.

"The A-team definitely isn't running the "insurgency" in Iraq anymore."

From an "intelligence viewpoint", if there is an increase in these incidents, then clearly, your statement is correct and we have attrited the enemy severely!

This would mean that we need to keep the pressure up on the bad guys so they make more mistakes. It also means we may be able to turn the Iraqis loose in the near future.

All things are positive if it is a trend and not an incident.
