It seems the biggest problem over in Iraq is IEDs (improvised explosive devices) they are hidden everywhere and pose a real problem to US military forces. They are working on new vehicles that are more resistant against IED attacks, but what do you think would be a good defense against IEDs? PLEASE - no anti-war junk! 10 points!

What happens if a hurricane comes to the gulf right now?

With the oil spill, and a layer of oil coating the gulf with more on the way, potentially being even bigger than the exxon valdez spill…what would happen if we suddenly got a hurricane headed for the gulf area? Would it rain oil on everything? Bring it all ashore? clean it up in a natural way but deposit it on land? I am curious.
