Good evening, Sam and Snippy. Really nice thread today. This was just as much a textbook airborne attack as Dick Winter's infantry attack. Ever since I began to read the thread, the theme to The Longest Day has been playing in my head. Finally, something has displaced Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh!

I saw Brit Hume interview Dean last night, after the results were clear. I don't think I've ever seen such a look of pure malevolence in an American politico. Dean is one scary toon. (Sorry - another movie reference.)

"The Howard Dean Car Alarm"! ROTFLOL! Thank God I didn't have a drink of soda in my mouth when I heard that.

Dean kinda reminds me of John Belushi playing Joe Cocker.

Evening Grace Snip & Sam~

Very fascinating read . . . just amazing the risks we implemented for the element of surprise. But the COSSAC giving the invasion plan the secret name "bigot". Was that just haphazard? Help me OBwon . . .

Evening w_over_w.

My understanding is that code names where selected from random lists of words. They weren't scrutinized by the Press of the day looking for some deep dark racist, homophobe, women hating meaning.
