Sword Striking - Ramping Up In Afghannystan

Don't ya love the pet names the military gives military operations. Names that evoke a sense of legitimacy that really isn't the case.

Officials described the operation — dubbed Khanjar, or "Strike of the Sword" — as the largest and fastest-moving of the war's new phase and the biggest Marine offensive since the one in Falloojeh.

Ain't it fucking great and then making comparisons to what we did twice to Falloojeh and the people who live there indicates to me it's business as usual from a country that loves war and death just as long as it happens to people of color and is a long way from here.

We are so screwed!
