When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail

The US military, painfully continuing its abuse of the lowest-common-denominator metaphor (although sadly not hyperbole), has explained that it is willing to "use a sledgehammer to crack a walnut." This contradicts the Shrub's earlier policy statement about how he is "not gonna fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt." Can you believe it?!
Ahem, how quickly we got from liberation back to war.

Wait, I know I linked to the article, but I have a suspicion that you people don't read the links, so get a load of this quote here:
"This is war," Major-General Charles Swannack, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, based in western Iraq, said during a briefing in Baghdad. "We're going to use a sledgehammer to crush a walnut. We're not going to prosecute this war holding one hand behind our back, we're going to use enough in our arsenal to win this fight."

In the meantime, no amount of "newly released" Saddam tapes can obfuscate the "duh" of what's happening with the
Iraqi insurgents who don't give a shit about Saddam, despite his role as the latest, post-Osama incarnation of the US-constructed "Goldberg" variation in its war with Oceania.
