What is this war/operation being called???

[Tmy]

I hope its somthing good this time. Desert Shield was kinda cool. They they had a string of dopey names like "Infinite Justice" or "enduring Freedom" ......BLeckkkkkk. Who comes up with these things.

Ive got one

"OPERATION: Damned if you do, Sa-dammed if you don't!"

[Martin]

Sorry to disappoint you, but I believe it's Operation: Iraqi Freedom

[My Final Spider]

I think it is "Operation Iraqi Freedom".

Edit: Never mind. :(

[Tmy]

Iraqi Freedom!??!? Gee, the State Departement Marketing Divison must be working overtime.

[kourama]

Well, "Freedom" is meant in the same euphemistic sense as "Liberation" I think.

[My Final Spider]

It's silly, but at least it's not another "Desert" something. Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Desert Fox. At least "Iraqi Freedom" is a little more specific than "Desert Freedom".

Philadelphia Freedom was taken.....Damn you Elton John!!! :mad:

Does Operation: Iraqi Freedom translate to Operation: Iraqi French?

[Jon_in_london]

This side of the pond its being called Operation TELIC. Nobody knows what 'TELIC' stands for but speculation amongst the army is 'Tell Everyone Leave Is Cancelled'

The BBC is already running a story titled "Analysis: UK assault on France (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/2842601.stm) "

Gets my attention every time I spot it :eek:
