We hear about the "Improvised Explosive Devices" being used to target our troops in Iraq. The following video clip may give this added perspective.
NOTE: One of the soldiers utters an audible expletive after the thing goes off, so it's NSFW or young children.
Thanks to John Hinderaker of Power Line.

Coulter: "Now the Times won't even publish McCain's op-ed. I wouldn't have published it either -- I've read it twice and I still can't remember what it says -- but I also wouldn't have published McCain's seven op-eds in The New York Times since 1996."

Impressive blast that fortunately was ill-timed for insurgent's desired effect.
Totally irrelevant and irreverant thought passes through my mind:
Perhaps this is how all those potholes in MI come about... ...blame the insurgents! I certainly have used the same explicative after driving over one.

Looks to me as if the devise used (whatever kind it was, 155mm etc.) was buried too deep or pointed in the wrong direction. Those troops were very fortunate. God bless them all!

This is a vivid example of why this is our first war with a "front line."
Every time the brave folks in our military go out..they know it could be the last time...
Shame on the Republicans in the Senate to have voted down the Webb Amendment.
We don't have a clue what this constant apprehension must be like...
Thank you for what we do not see on MSM or Fox...

In Iraq the support troops are as much in danger as the grunts...
But hey...the surge is working...by next summer there will be no IED's...

Shame on the democrats for every single day like this one that didn't need to be. You say our presence in Iraq what a recruiting tool for Al Qaeda, It was democrats obstruction and continued undermining of Our President in a time of War that encouraged Our enemies from all parts of the world to join in the verbal attacks send support and suicide bombers. That and the democrat Media who may as well call themselves the democrats Al Jazeera.
Oh ya ,you assholes call this dissent. Right!

Don't sweat whether you wrote "no front line" or "front line" nogo. It doesn't change anything. Both versions have exactly the same content value -- zero.

Actually, he's not wrong if you accept 'front line' as being a narrow, easily defined geographic area where the two opposing forces do battle.
But as 9/11 showed us, the front line can be anywhere.
