New military operation launched.
Posted by andir on October 02, 2005
Introducing the predictably named operation... Iron Fist! Those pesky insurgents. By the way, that's what we call them. They may very well call themelves Iraqis. What we call ourselves is liberators. And what they call us is invaders. I guess it all depends what side of the liberation/oppression fence you're on, and who wins the fight, of course. But, back to the new military operation. All these names that are meant to inspire(us) and frighten(them). We're so fortunate to have an administration with a good spin machine that can pull together names exhibiting this level of sophistication. Consider "Shock and Awe". Or "Iraqi Freedom". Or "Platinum Turban". Ok, the last one is not part of the roster of operations conducted by the US Army. But should it be? Hey, why not have some fun with this? Why not Operation Ageless Boyfriend? Or Operation Angry Wombat? At best we may just confuse them into submission. At worst we'd be fodder for editorial cartoonists everywhere. And since we're already there...
