"Infinite Justice" offensive to Muslims

I just heard Donald Rumsfeld on the radio answering reporters' questions, and one reporter asked if the operation in the middle east would really be named "Infinite Justice."
When Rumsfeld replied that he had 'heard' the name, but that it might not be the actual name of the action, the reporter replied that he had spoken to Muslim clerics, and that "infinite justice" was offensive because "only Allah can provide infinite justice."
To which Rumsfeld replied that we would not name it anything that might be offensive!
Thoughts?

Considering it is an action to target guilty terrorists, I say tough cookies.
To: van_erwin
My first thought is: Why are you listening to NPR?
My second thought is: It's too late ... the name is out and being used.
To: van_erwin
We are sending those responsbile for this attack to Allah for the dispensation of Infinite Justice. Does that help?

Maybe the Arabs need to get the message that THEIR God is on OUR side.

Middle-easterners are sensitive, touchy-feely types and need to be treated very delicately.
To: van_erwin
Yeah, my thoughts are 'EF EM. It's a very suitable name, as it broadcasts that we are in this for the long haul.

"Operation Let's Roll" or "Operation Noble Eagle" have been used elsewhere in FR and sound cooler.

Actually, I favor "Screaming Eagle". That says it all.
To: van_erwin
My response, "Allah can't do squat."

I think they're going to find the bombs, cruise missiles, and teams of ticked off SEALs and Rangers much more offensive than some silly little operation name.

"Operation wipe out people of various faiths and cultures participating or aiding in aggressive terrrorist-like operations"
Maybe a little too wordy....but it will appease the Politically Correct parasites on the Tree of Liberty!
To: van_erwin
Any thoughts?
Yes.
Look for US officials to prostate themselves before the alter of political correctness.
Diversity, like communism, is a stalemate. Nothing can be done because any action will offened someone.

This is breaking news?????

God forbid we should semantically offend the hypersensitive Muslims out there,,,geeze Louise. Although I did not like the name or Noble Eagle. Somehow it just doesn't sound right. I would Call this Proud Eagle and just plain Operation Justice. Bush's name makers aren't very good imho.
To: van_erwin
Who gives a rat's ass if it's offensive! Do you think they care one bit about offending us? They want us freakin' dead!
To: van_erwin
I find NPR offensive so will they please shut down their signal and shut up?
