Ramming Convoys

One of these days this kind of suicide attack is going to strike its target more directly, and more than 1 US soldier will die. The Marine barracks in Beirut is essentially the parallel. How many more chances are we going to take?

A U.S. military spokesman says that a suicide car attack on a U.S. military convoy in Afghanistan has killed 20 civilians and a coalition soldier.

Lt. Cmdr. Walter Matthews says the bomber attacked the convoy Thursday in the Bati Kot district of the eastern Nangarhar province.

Ajmal Pardes, an Afghan health official, says 74 civilians have been wounded in the attack.

The attack happened as the convoy was passing through a crowded market.

And our solution, for some reason, is to send more targets troops into the war zone.

I should also remind everyone that there was no history of suicide attacks in Afghanistan until the war in Iraq, which was basically insurgent college.
