"Secretary of State Colin Powell created the idea that the US should always use massive and overwhelming force in any war ... Mr Rumsfeld has set aside the Powell doctrine in favour of a more adventurous approach"

Huh? Powell doctine? Massive and overwhelming force has been the approach for at least 60 years. I don't think Powell had anything to do with it. Weird thing to say.

Operation 'Shock and Awe' ...

Can't we have operations with different names, like "Operation Martin Sheen", "Operation Gephardt"? Just to p*ss the libs off.
