Why on earth donīt they buy a desent HE shell for 120mm from germany or sweden or israel. The simplest thing to do considering Iraq. Or have they done so already?

Alliant Tech has come up with an elegant solution called
M908 HE-Obstacle Reduction, which is basically a M830A1 converted to APHE. Dunno if it is fielded yet, but from what I could hear I wouldn't rule out that this one or another similar round is being field-tested in Iraq.
Still not proper HE though...
Edit: Just found out that it is listed as operational round in a USMC tanker manual from June 2006, call that a positive sign.
