It has become the most over-used phrase in this war so far. The Pentagon has said that the level of bombardment will bring "shock and awe" to the Iraqi army. LOL. I have CNN on while I'm typing this post. They've said "shock and awe" three times while I've been typing, and I'm a fairly decent typist.

From what I understand, massive bombing (not firebombing, but targeted bombings) coordinated with the start of a push to Baghdad meant to intimidate soldiers into surrender.

The Pentagon is saying it will be unlike any military offensive yet.

a bombardment the likes of which the world hasn't seen, as far as I can tell. I don't remember the exact breakdown of how much firepower they're talking about using, but throw the new MOABs in there, and it's likely a doozy.

I think they meant "Chaka Kahn" not "Shock and Awe"

They need to stop. If they interrupt Scrubs tonight to tell me that Shocknawe has begun again, I'm going to flip!

Shorty:

You need to turn on CNN. They just LOVE that phrase! I've counted five more usages since I posted "twice more."

I would think that a Bungles fan would be familiar with shock and "awwwwwwwwwwww" by now. :)

I believe "shock and awe" is how you pronounce Quatar?

So interupting scrubs is the least of my worries.
