3. You're absolutely right -- not designed for armor
Another highlight to the administration's quandary--there is no way in heaven or hell to completely protect troops in a country where they are not wanted.

We can continue to armor humvees, deploy robots and unmanned spy planes, expand our "shoot first ask questions later" policy--but at best (or worst) these tactics will delay the inevitable.

Or we can bring the troops home now.
