OIL-"Operation Imposing Law"-WTF???? I couldn't believe my ears when I heard
the name for the lastest operation in Iraq.

Could they rub the real purpose of this murderous killing spree in a less "in your face" manner???

Why isn't this blasted all over the front pages of newspapers?

I don't watch TV much, and heard this at my bf's Monday evening and am just now having time to post it.

Maybe there was talk about it, but since the operation started on valentine's day maybe it got buried under the heart threads.





INDICT, IMPEACH IMPRISON

BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW

2. Remember the original name of O.I.F.?
Our illegal invasion was named Operation Iraqi Freedom. The original name, as widely reported before the war was "rolled out", was Operation Iraqi Liberation.

O.I.L.

There is absolutely no way that Rove and Luntz missed this.

Drive it like you stole it, right?

An earlier article I read that has since disappeared referred to the Iraqi code name as Operation Imposing Law. I do wish that the name of the operation didn't have such an unfortunate acronym. The nutroots will have a field day with this.

Edited on Wed Feb-21-07 08:58 AM by moblsv
They already went through this with Operation Iraqi Liberation. I will have to see this to believe it. Do you have any .gov links or reliable news sources?

IRAQ: No end to the year-old sectarian strife

The Iraqi government wants to put an end to sectarian violence and the illegal seizure of homes in the capital. On 14 February, it declared a new security crackdown – dubbed 'Operation Imposing Law' - in conjunction with US forces in Iraq with these aims in mind.

4. They do this to make us think there is a "rational" reason, so we don't realize...
Bush is just doing this to Immanentize The Eschaton-- in other words, to bring about "The End Times."

Operation
Immenentize
Lord's Return
