#2 I sure as hell hope not. I hope these guys do a great job and live to tell about it. I have one hell of a lot of respect for anyone who defuses live bombs for a living.

#4 Apparently they were sent through the DOD bomb-disposal school in the States, at our expense. I hope these 80 can train 800 more, because it's going to take that to get rid of all of Saddam's junk.
