Maybe Rummy was right

Now, the insurgency is blowing up tanks with their IEDs (emphasis mine):

For the second time in four days, insurgents used a huge roadside bomb to destroy a Bradley fighting vehicle, one of the American military's most heavily armored troop carriers, as it was patrolling in southwest Baghdad. On Jan. 6, a bomb in northwest Baghdad killed seven soldiers inside a Bradley.

Of course, that doesn't excuse the Pentagon from short-changing the guard and reserve troops on armored vehicles, but it seems that all the armor in the world isn't going to protect our troops from the class of explosives that the insurgency is using lately.

Maybe it's time to declare victory and bring our troops home. But alas, the administration's "everything's coming up roses" mentality won't allow it to take advantage of a golden opportunity to do so.
