How long before this weapon is deployed here?

The Register-Guard, Eugene, Oregon, USA:

"BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military is deploying a laser device in Iraq that would temporarily blind drivers who fail to heed warnings at checkpoints, in an attempt to stem shootings of innocent Iraqis.

The pilot project would equip thousands of M-4 rifles with the 10 1/2 -inch-long weapon, which projects an intense beam of green light to ``dazzle'' the vision of oncoming drivers. "
