Does this mean we can start comparing Bush to Hitler again?

The U.S. military’s code name for a crackdown on resistance in Iraq was also used by the Nazis for an aborted operation to damage the Soviet power grid during World War II.

“Operation Iron Hammer” this week launched the 1st Armored Division’s 3rd Brigade into the roughest parts of Baghdad to ferret out the attackers who have killed scores of U.S. troops since Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was ousted in April.

A Pentagon official said the name was chosen because of the “Old Ironsides” nickname of the 1st Armored Division. He was unaware of any connection to any Nazi operation.

The original name, Operation Infinite Justice, was jettisoned amid fears that the Muslim world, already leery of U.S. intentions, would object on the basis of Koranic teachings that only God can provide infinite justice.

…so they settled on a name that would piss off the Jews instead?!

I’m sure it was all just a big misunderstanding. When they say “iron hammer“, they mean it in the nicest way possible. Really. Maybe this will prompt them to change the name to something that does a better job describing the purpose of the mission. Something like “Operation Bomb Your Civilians Until You Tell Us Where Saddam Is”.
