Most Effective Weapon in Iraq

What is the most effective weapon in Iraq?

It's not even American! The most effective weapon in Iraq is not an Abrams battle tank, an F/A-18 Hornet, or an Army howitzer, it's an insurgent car bomb.

The Iraqi insurgents, driven underground and unable to fight effectively in the open, have found the perfect weapon to wreak carnage on a daily basis. Car bombs are cheap, plentiful, inconspicuous, and mobile. Fitted with explosives, they can kill hundreds of Iraqis at a time and take out U.S. Military vehicles and troops.

For the U.S. to win in Iraq, it must put a stop to these bombs. Perhaps there are patterns waiting to be discovered on how these cars are acquired, fitted, and deployed. And perhaps there's a way to "tag" cars in Iraq to discern these patterns!
