Stephanie Miller Show new name for Iraqi War, "Operation Arrorhead Ripper."
"Operation Arrorhead Ripper" is now the new title for bush's endless war in Iraq.

So Shock & Awe no more

Operation New Wave no more

Operation New Way Forward no more

Operation Forward Together no more.

Now OPERATION ARROWHEAD is in effect. Heavy Metal Head Banging Rock n War.

5. Rock n WAR!
:yourock:

:headbang:

Sadly my friend's is a gunner on a Hummer for the 82nd Airborne right now.
All the troops in his outfit know the war is lost even though they can and do
win every engagement.

And silly names will not change the fact that the Iraqis see us as the enemy.

7. True enough.
And tell your friend to keep his head down.

I've got a cousin who's an army officer, served as a doctor in Mosul until the Army finally sent him home to take care of his daughter, who needs surgery. He'll be sent back as soon as she's better.

Anyway, we've all got someone. Hang in there!

6. How about this: Americas biggest blunder
That is what history books will call it one day.
When the truth reigns over the land once again.

8. Operational Names
I have no idea what or who generates them, but Arrowhead Ripper doesn't really mean anything more than Operation #325 or whatever. In Korea, our training exercises all had strange names: "Foal Eagle, Ulchi Focus-Lens, etc.
