Operation Phantom Fury was the codename
given to the US military assault on the Iraqi city of Falluja
in November 2004.
Storm Shadow is the name given to the cruise missiles used by the RAF in Iraq.
I can’t understand why various authoritiess (Police, Army etc) feel the need to call everything such stupid names.
Storm Shadow? Shock and Awe?
Phantom Fury?
I mean, who does the government think they’re fooling, apart from themselves?
