Traffic Calming

Now go out and get yourself some big black frames
With the glass so dark they wont even know your name
And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes:
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses
--Cheap Sunglasses, ZZ Top
______________

We are sure these are not cheap sunglasses, but the photo also says U.S. combat soldiers have become traffic monitors. If the Iraqi Police Forces and Military cannot perform this function, then the concept of Iraq as a nation is clearly a fiction.

These soldiers have no tactical or technical advantage and operate without visible security. Once again, U.S. soldiers are placed within grenade distance of potential adversaries.

This is a better Foster Grant add than it is an example of military readiness.
