Is it just me or is there just a heapin' helpin' chunka irony in us naming the search for Saddam after the movie Red Dawn and the locations searched, Wolverine 1, 2 etc? Wasn't the movie about Russian invaders and the Wolverines were the kids who rose up against the occupation? Are they catering to the MTV generation or are they simply that clueless?
Keeping in the same vein, proposal names for new missions:
- Moving Saddam from one place to another; "Dirty Dancing".
- Risky missions that might incur US casualties; "Youngblood".
- Anything that includes paratroopers; "Point Break".
- Missions that require troops to pose as locals; "Too Wong Foo".
- Searches for known killers and lost money; "Ghost".
Update: More people noticed the irony.
When and if Saddam receives his trial, will his enablers be culpable? Can the US administration neocons afford to have him on trial for genocide? However this pans out, the clear winner is Halliburton/KBR apparently. It's got to be a good feeling to know you can screw over the US taxpayer, the US government, the citizens and interim Iraq government and still continue to secure contracts.
