Operation Tribute to Freedom

God, could these Operation names get any worse?? How about Operation Pull the Wool Over the Citizenry's Eyes and Laugh Maniacally? Operation Lie, Cheat and Steal? Operation Don't Give a Damn What the People Say?

This one, Operation Tribute to Freedom is all about drumming up even more public support for the imperialist military, especially with the 4th of July right around the corner. The Department of Defense is actually encouraging city officials around the country to tie in the Attack on Iraq with their traditional Independence Day activities.
[Rumsfeld's] staffers have been phoning city officials, including some in Orange County, and strongly urging them to structure Fourth of July celebrations around the war in Iraq.

"I got the impression that they had a list of every city in the nation that had applied for a pyrotechnics permit, and were calling them to persuade them to be part of the program," said one OC city official.

Unvelievable.
