Attacks on convoys been doubled

General Fontaine says attacks on US convoys in Iraq doubled in a story writty By Will Dunham. The question arises besides Armour Plating - can anything be done? I understand the Army has very small Robots that could monitor the highways. These robots can take pictures of what is going on and maybe prevent some of these accidents or attacks on convoys. This reminds me of Star Wars of the movies using robots that were used to look for people. Maybe a Producer of the type that helped make Star Wars would help out in the planning for protection of the Convoys. Writers may not have the military background but could sure help furnish a new scenarios for the planners to help furnish protection for he troops. If the military want to make this operation work- It is going to have to take more than just military to do this . Maybe these people could furnish imagination to use what robots,etc are available to make this operation work, and save lives.
