Bush: Homemade Bombs Biggest Threat to GIs

President Bush said Saturday the greatest threat to U.S. troops — and to the future of a peaceful Iraq — are remote-controlled, homemade bombs that terrorists hide in cars or set along roads.

In his weekly radio address, Bush said terrorists in Iraq know they cannot defeat the U.S. military so they have resorted to using lethal improvised explosive devices, which are the leading killer of American troops in Iraq.

The president was to receive a briefing Saturday about the devices from Montgomery Meigs, a retired general who heads a Pentagon organization with a multibillion-dollar budget to find ways to counter the threat.

"We're harnessing every available resource, the ingenuity of our best scientists and engineers, and the determination of our military to defeat this threat — and we're not going to rest until this danger to our troops has been removed," Bush said in his broadcast.

1. If he can find a way to remotely lobotomize half of the Iraqi
people.... he will accomlish his goal/agenda/plot/. The ied's and other sundry items are created in peoples' heads first, then they are created in the "real" world. His real fight is erasing the damage and destruction he has rained down upon Iraq for no good reason.
