From the artical -
Radio transmissions had been detected coming from caves above the villages, said military officials in Washington.

Hmm, sounds intresting. Seems action is picking back up in Afghanstan.

That bit about the increased radio use was intresting. Did they think America and it's allies can only concentrate on one thing at a time? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

And I wonder how keenly N Korean officials are watching CNN and BBC?

Where do they come up with these titles for events...Operation:Valiant Strike...Operation:Iraqi Freedom...Liberty Shield...etc.

Do they have a phrase generator or is someone given the job to just come up with them on cue?

Well, this was posted on a site called the Onion. News Satire. The title of thiers is:

Military Promises 'Huge Numbers' for Gulf War II - The Vengence

They wrote it like a movie review. I wonder how (in)accurate it will be.

I think that Saddam names his plans, too.

Years ago Saddam launched Operation: Confuse the UN.

Right now, he is well into initiating Operation: Oh Crap!

Soon Saddam will launch Operation: I Should Have Complied. [img]smile.gif[/img]

DISCLAIMER - This is in no way meant to be disrespectful to the real life situation facing Allied troops and innocent Iraqis.
