ARLINGTON, Va. — Five days into the U.S. and coalition air strikes against targets of the Islamic Levant (ISIL) inside Syria, and six weeks since the United States began flying air strikes against I Department of Defense (DoD) has yet to assign a code name to the operations.
During a briefing to reporters Sept. 25 at the Pentagon, RADM John Kirby, spokesman for the DoD, said he knew “of no plans at this point” to assign the operation a code name.
DoD and NATO routinely assign code names to combat operations, such as Operation Iraqi Freedom for the Iraq War from March 2003 to August 2010, and even the stability operations in Iraq from September to December 2011, Operation New Dawn. The U.S. air campaign against Libya in 2011 was called Operation Odyssey Dawn, succeeded by NATO’s Operation Unified Protector. Even very short-term operations, such as Operation Praying Mantis against Iran in April 1988, often are assigned names.

OBAMACARES... or are we saving that for the Ebola crisis?
Screw the pooch?
Shake the pooch?
Shake the dog?
Wag the dog?
We’re only dropping bombs within the sovereign territory of a country whose leader we have a declared foreign policy objective of overthrowing. Does that sound like war to you?
“I’ll take “Operation Holy Crusade” for $300, Alex!”
Code name Fluster Cuck.
The enemy says it is IS and Islam.
The Pentagon and Obola-the-UndocumentedMoslemImpostor
says, “No. It is not IS it is ISIL.
and No. It is not Islam.”
Americans will never trust the Pentagon again until
Obola is arrested, indicted, and tried.
Even the Egyptian Army is smarter than the Pentagon
because THEY removed Obola’s al Qaeda who were
killing Egyptians.
No one in DC or the Pentagon gives a damn that
Obola is KILLING AMERICANS.
Just ask Hasan.

How about “Operation Cluster SWIVE”?!

I thought they were calling it Reluctant Warrior until it was pointed out that was an oxymoron.
Syria bombing ... Operation Overreach.
You may be right. To give this operation a name would be to admit that this is an ongoing military action. Which Obama doesn’t want to admit.

Operation Raise Poll Numbers
I’m amazing at how little we hear about Egypt and el-Sisi. What he’s done there is probably the best thing that’s happened in our world in recent years. Our media ignored it... because our MB aligned gov’t has abandoned them.
Now that Turkey is allowing the Brotherhood to stage within their borders, el-Sisi will be attacked soon. I believe what’s coming between Egypt and Turkey/MB is going to be a major flashpoint on the road to Armageddon. NATO will be a convenient excuse for the US to do the Muslim Brotherhood’s bidding when the time comes.
No, Obama is only making a show. He was going to name it Operation Americans Be Suckers.
Operation Not Now I’m Golfing.
