Gates wants task force to counter roadside bombs

I believe Jieddo should be given total support and assistance so that people harming our men in such a cowardly underhanded manner can be made harmless and wiped out totally. Past history can be useful in studying these horrid reoccurrences, and maybe be a tool to trace men responsible for the financing of these bombs, and also the localities where the bombs are put together.Nothing should be spared in order to encourage
other Afghans and other populations to
assist us in these endevours.It is going to be costly using drones,yet this is not the time to be minding expenses,each life saved is an invaluable payback. I believe that all individuals,all of us, should invest all they can afford to encourage research in this field, and keep our men well and so speed up their safe return home. I wish Mr.Gates will place his priorized attention toward this grand cause and I wish He would fully support and encourage Jieddo efforts now.
