Get Rumsfeld on this fast!

Months ago I saw an Israeli system for blocking PRGs before they can reach a vehicle equipped with it. Now, NBC has reported that the Army brass have blocked purchases of it because it has a system under development with Raytheon which is supposed to do the same thing but won't be deployable until 2011. The Israeli system is ready now and has been tested, achieving 95% to 98% protection.

Now we know why Rumsfeld is getting fragged by Army generals. He's killed several of their pet projects. It the DOD doesn't buy all of these they can get hold of ASAP, and deploy them in Iraq, it will deserve all the criticism it will get.
