More and more, our enemies in Iraq are learning not to attack us head-on.
The IED (Improvised Explosive Device) is becoming the reason for a greater and greater percentage of U.S. deaths in Iraq, says The Washington Post.
(thanx and a tip o' the hat to Lunaville.
According to the Iraq Coalition Casualties website, 57 coalition troops were killed in Iraq by IEDs in Octiber of 2005, 17 more than in the next highest month (September 2005 and August 2005, tied at 40 IED-caused deaths). Put another way, that is an increase of 42.5%.
I am not certain what this portends for the future of our war in Iraq, but it isn't good.
That is all.
