First not enough troops to put on parades, now this:

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...

"Eisenhammer," the German for "iron hammer," was a Luftwaffe code name for a plan to destroy Soviet generating plants in the Moscow and Gorky areas in 1943, according to Universal Lexikon on the www.infobitte.de Web site.

[And by the way, the use of "Eisen" in a satiric context is the exclusive domain of this group of individuals. Any attempt to misappropriate this intellectual property will result in massive and devastating legal reprisals that will make the Microsoft antitrust trial look like "People's Court". Or the SCO case. - MoF ]
