With this years war season almost upon us, I thought it was time that we should give the upcoming military spectacle in Iraq, a proper name. Rather than leave it to some faceless individuals in the White House or Pentagon, how about allowing the people decide?
So in the true spirit of democracy, you may place your vote. The name with the largest vote, prior to the first salvo of Cruise missiles, wins.
Please place your vote in the above poll.......
I voted for Operation Distraction, but I have a couple of my own submissions:
Operation OILY REVENGE
Operation AVENGE POPPY
You forgot the greatest Op of them all - Operation Get Re-elected.
when you can't get the real terrorist saddam makes a damn good effigy as blacksmithn' says osama who?
Iraqnophobia, I read somewhere on the net. I voted Op Empire.
Operation WAR=PEACE
Operation SMIRKING CHIMP
Operation CHICKENHAWK REDEMPTION
Operation DUBYA DUBYA THREE
Goody - at last a satire thread! well - there was one before - but this is a new one.
I voted for tomorrow France...everyone secretly wants to give France a kick in the bum!
I would propose another name: "Operation Peace and Security".
I propose
HOW TO KICK ARAB BUTTS FOR FUN AND PROFIT
Operation Hey we're flounderin' here, how about a little uncritical support, 'k?
I didn't find any of the suggested names suitable.
Try these on for size:
Operation God's on Our Side.
Operation Revenge of the Nerd.
Operation Tragic Waste.
Operation Hubris.
Title:
"Save civilization from the Islamic terrorists"
How about:
Operation We Couldn't Find the Real Terrorists, So This Was Our Best Idea.
Operation Smoke and Mirrors.
Operation Pay No Attention to the Meltdown of the Domestic Economy.
Operation We Found Something to Distract the Unemployed and Victims of Enron.
blacksmithn' we dont say unemployed anymore, its now "increasing quantity family time"
Oops, how un-PC of me! Let's see, maybe:
Operation We'll Send Your Sons Into Combat Situations We Were Lucky Enough To Avoid.
Operation Raise Gas Prices and Increase the Likelihood of More Domestic Terror.
The following are offered with apologies to Bernard Fall, but they seem eerily appropriate:
Operation Street Without Joy.
Operation Hell In A Very Small Place.
Operation ENDURING GLOBAL WAR
Operation DESERT DEBACLE
Operation PETRO-CONFLAGRATION
Operation BLIXKREIG
