Operation "Iron hammer"
that's what this bombing is being called in Iraq.

Why now?

Why did they wait until now to start bombing?

Was it the death of the 17 Italians?

I hear the U.S. is supposedly getting "better intelligence" as to where the "insurgents" are hiding -- thus the bombing.

I don't buy it tho.

7. he's not returning my calls!
Apparently we can't work out the licensing kinks for my line of Colmes Underoos. Once we were best friends, now we only communicate via a wall of lawyers.

McClelland was asked about this during today's WH briefing.

15. Operation Iron Hammer... and Sickle?
Really starting to look like a Vietnam in fast forward.

It's getting pretty obvious this war can last like this for years. Bush is too much of a coward to pull out. So now that we've had the Ramadan Offensive it's time to move on to "Rolling Thunder." Hopefully that means Watergate is only a few months away.

24. If you can bear to watch Frist then I have a whole new respect for
you! He causes intense rage and the urge to throw the remote thru the tv. At least he's not your senator. I get the most snotty letters back from his office. F head.

23. Operation Gigantic Penis
"We're not losing, we're NOT!"

I especially liked the term "Iraqification" I heard yesterday on the TV set machine: shades of the sixties...

26. Brought to you by the Caring People at USSRCorp.
The new Iron Hammer Line® of high yield sanitation products will leave your newly aquired corporate frontier clean of pests, partisans and population.

• Do you have an unsightly insurgent problem?

• Losing the hearts and minds of the colonized.

• Are you being probed, harrased and prevented from doing God's chosen work?


Well look no further. With the new Iron Hammer Line® we can gaurantee results with as few as three carpet bombings. That's only three carpet bombings!

Your zone will go from tempest to tranquil in no time at all.

Influence Allies, quench dissent and coerce your new neighborhood with the skill of a Cossack.

And for a very limited time we will also throw in the FAUX line of pre-programmed self censoring patriot police. These rugged individuals of freedom and personal integrity will help spin the way to your media victory.

So act now! Supplies are limited, and due to the high volume of planned invasions orders are limited to 1 order per rouge nation.

Iron Hammer We Do Transgression Right!

WARNING. Results of success may vary from conflict to conflict. Symptoms may include international disgrace, loss of personnel and removal from high office. Consult your CIA before performing exit manuvers.
