Reuters AlertNet - U.S. troops in Iraq powerless against bomb attacks

Reuters AlertNet - U.S. troops in Iraq powerless against bomb attacks: "'We have been attacked by subversive elements and I believe that these subversive elements are young males that can be paid a lot of money and receive weapons from former Baathists and former regime loyalists,' Teeples said.
'It is inviting for them to set up an explosive device or to shoot an RPG at a coalition force because they are going to get paid a great deal of money for doing it.'
Teeples said young men hard up for cash and pro-Saddam guerrillas with military training were behind the bloodshed."

Aaah, the love of money. Someone noticed this causes problems way back in the day.
