The US has found a way to counter the deadly IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan by setting up a 24-hr surveillance through the use of drones. Any terrorists caught digging up the roads to plant IEDs, especially, in the middle of the night would be disposed off quickly and efficiently by missiles launched from the drones themselves. So, until Thai Military does the same, IEDs will continue to kill more and more soldiers and people.

Where's Chalerm?? Where are the GT 200's? This morning we read about a 50kg bomb buried under a road that created a crater the size of small building. Where's the dirigible??? A good thing the men on the trigger knew what they were after and didn't blow up a room full of school children as they clustered around the bomb looking at it. Maybe if the Rangers weren't sitting at the same table ever day, how do they provide security at a table??, but varied their routine they wouldn't have been such easy targets.

Sad state of affairs when children are forced to take responsibility for their own safety by finding bombs. The failure make progress on the situation in the South while simultaneously wasting mass resources on a silly drug war that history says cannot and will not be won is just one more failure by the PTP.
