More evidence that perhaps the 1600 Crew think this whole going to war thing is just a big ol' joke...the operation to bring in the bad, bad former trading partner and ally Saddam was named...Operation Red Dawn, and the locations that they scouted out were called Wolverine I and Wolverine II. Jeebus.

The problem with calling Saddam's capture Operation Red Dawn is that it subverts the righteousness of our action with Orwellian Newspeak. (By sheerest coincidence, Red Dawn was released in 1984.) The U.S. military isn't mounting an insurgency against a foreign invader. It is the foreign invader. The real insurgents in Iraq—its Wolverines—are the Baathists and Islamist extremists who continue to wage guerrilla war against the American occupation and its Iraqi collaborators.
