#1 Excellent!

The Sunni Triangle, Syria, and Iran - these are the sources of asshats and matÃ©riel that lead to dead American military and innocent Iraqis.

Oh, what to do, what to do!

#3 A big problem in Iraq for IEDs is that Saddam had, as I recall, an estimated 1M tons of munitions, stored in caches across the country. Almost every pic i see of an unexploded IED is some crap-ass looking old artillery/mortar shell is poor conndition. I am not surprised that so many don't go off.

#4 Finding electronics really hurts. Not only are IEDs a LOT harder to make without them, but they are very traceable. Spooks will be alerted to backtrack them from point of manufacture, and could well lead to a network being busted.
