Operation "Phantom Fury"??
Doesn't it sound like the Phantom Menace? Are you tired of those flashy names they use? operation Desert Storm, Shock and Awe...and now this. It sounds ridiculous....who's the phantom anyway? I thought the insurgents were.

6. I kid you not. This is what a colonel behind the attack said
Colonel Gary Brandl of the United States Marine Corps commented: "The enemy has a face. It is Satan's. He is in Fallujah, and we are going to destroy him."

3. They came up with that one...
During one of their all-day, Ibogaine and Cane Toad Sweat-wracked, frantic masturbation sessions that they hold in a small closet off of Rummy's office. I am waiting for them to go all the way and call the next one "Operation Babalon Working".

4. talk about arrested development.......
That's the ONLY reason I can figure out for these silly muy macho names. It sounds like 10 year old boys having pissing contests.

17. They disregarded my suggestions: "Hallelujah Fallujah" or "Ghost Tantrum"

Do you think the people in charge of making up these names wet their pants when they come up with something like "Phantom Fury"? edit: my typing is worthless tonight

Operation Ghostly Anger? Operation Poltergeist Rage? What is going on with the superstitious haters who run our foreign policy? The right has always had an edge with campaigning, marshalling the downtrodden and crushing all opposition, but they're poetically tone-deaf and it shows.
