Does anyone else find the name "Operation Red Dawn"
ironic?
Wasn't the movie "Red Dawn" about people defending themselves against people invaiding their country?

1. saw the movie
was about the Russians invading the US via Mexico...and a bunch of highschool kids defending America

Naming this operation red dawn is just another example of Baghdad Bush not thinking things through - just like they did a quick oops in calling the war on terra a crusade

6. It's the regression of the collective mind
...it can't help itself from revealing the truth in cryptic messages. Who's Red Dawn is it?

7. Yes. What's more, since our country has been taken over by
Republicans through fixed elections and gerrymandering, I also refer to it as Red Dawn here in the U.S.A.
