The next phase has everything but a clever name: "Operation _________"
"Operation Surge over Operation Together Forward", "Operation Escalate the Peace",
"Operation Crazy Monkey Shit", "Operation Leave it to the next President", "Operation Clusterfuck", "Operation I do whatever the fuck I want so fuck you".

And you just know they will come up with a childishly simple operational title for the next brilliant war maneuver, and whatever it is, it will make all of the above look intelligent.

16. Right on. I am sure they have a Gen. that just makes up NAMES
Maybe we could get Bush to get on a white horse and do the hero thing and go in first? Hard to believe that he is making the pick on things when he could not even pass his flying medical test plus was drunk when he learned anything military. I know we do not need to have a Gen. in the white house but I feel bad that a man who thinks he knows it all is trying to run things. So far I can not find one thing, ONETHING he has run right but this. He has dished out millions to his faith based voters. Our money at that.

Some place we have a real screw up General that just sort of got to the top so they gave him an office and he thinks up names.

20. Operation Majestic Tide or..
Operation Noble Current...something to tie in the thought of "Surge" w/o actually calling it a surge...and the majestic/noble bit ties into keeping those that believe this invasion was a noble cause into the mix..they don't wanna lose any support they have by naming the operation something below what they've already built up, in peoples minds anyway...

85. Operation Rehabilitate Nixon
Bush makes Nixon look, almost (not quite), a Statesman. * has already rehabilitated Ford for his most prominent criminal act the pardon of Richard Nixon. Bush assumes the mantle gladly of our greatest criminal.

89. Cool thread! So many great ideas from Duers -- I love it.
My first thought was along realistic lines, as in what this administration might actually decide to use to make their propaganda statement. I came up with Operation Sure Victory.

But then we know they like to use the word "freedom" in their recents ops titles, so it might be something like Operation Freedom Stronghold, indicating their intent to establish a longterm U.S. military presence in a fortress-like base there in Iraq.

Of all the good titles offered in this thread, I agree with Operation Clusterfuck if we're gonna tell it like it is!


Just wondering ... does anyone else agree with me in thinking that when our wannabe dictator Bu$h pours thousands more troops into the lost cause of Iraq, the response from the American people will be immense anger? Even loud and unyielding demands for impeachment!

103. Aren't the first letters of operations generated randomly, or something like that?
It seems to me I saw something like that on the History Channel or somewhere. A computer generates the first letters (like "D" and "S") and the brass turn it into a name (like "Desert Storm"). Maybe I was just high.

114. Sort of... it's a bit complex
Generally there are a bunch of possible operation names or parts of operation names given to a computer and it makes a more-or-less random choice among them with some parameters.

An operation name needs to be vaguely strong and menacing (nobody wants to say their son died in "Operation Dandelion"), but not reveal anything about the nature of the operation (don't call it "Operation Pretend to Invade Calais While Actually Invading Normandy").

Since history is about to repeat itself, seems fit that the same old moniker gets pulled out and dusted off again.
