U.S. "Iron Hammer" Code Name 1st Used by Nazis
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military's code name for a crackdown on resistance in Iraq (news - web sites) 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 (news - web sites) was ousted in April.

In some interpretations of Godwin's Law, this means the US has now lost the war. In other interpretations, it had already lost.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it and drag the rest of us along with them.
