  • "Operation Phantom Thunder "??

    Is that the DoD's official name for the "surge"?

  • Operation Phantom Thunder

    .. vs. "Operation Dog and Pony Show". Now that the Commander in Chimp hired a puppet to "paint with all the colors of his wind..", it seems to me that Iraq is just going to become a better and safer place each day until January 2009!

    Book your flights now people! Ahhhh, I hear that the Mesopotamian Riviera is gorgeous this time of year...

  • Good lord

    "Muthanna province, even though the governor was assassinated, we're pretty certain by militia extremists, continues to stay fine."

    That tells you just about everything you need to know.
