U.S. Forces Launch Operation Iron Hammer

Borrowing a page from our good buddies the Saudies, eh? Didn't one of the Royals say they would crush insurgents with an "Iron Fist"?

Coincedence?

I say it's more like "Operation Oh Crap! Get Bremer Back Here, Pronto!"

1. I wonder

will they roll out those catchy names from Nam too?

Rolling Thunder comes to mind (Christmas bombing)

2. USSR

sounds like what the soviets would call their operations

3. this Christmas

they may call it Silent Night.

4. Just has that Third Reich ring, dontcha know

It does smack of Naziphilia....

5. I expect to see "Operation Steel Sickle" soon

Makes sense these guys would choose a Commie symbol to name their resumption of major combat operations.

6. Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer

made sure that they were dead.

7. How about "Operation Iron Lung"?

That's what they'll need to keep Chimpy's ME policy gasping for wisps of oxygen after today's fiasco.

Better yet, how about "Operation Iron Eagle"? That way, they can replace Bremer with Louis Gossett Jr.! Those sniveling punk Iraqis will be on their knees in a matter of days!!!
