Remember the Afghani operation after 911? It was something like Operation Righteous Crusade. When they realized how bad that would be politically (remember the Crusades in Euro/Asia against the Muslims?) they changed it to Infinite Justice. hehe. Infinite Justice was actually pretty good, but Iraqui Freedom blows. They should have called it Operation Liberty, or Operation Freedom. Gets to the whole point of helping the Iraqui people, and sounds cool! IMO at least. LOL. :p

"Infinite Justice" also pissed off the natives. According to them only Allah can dispense infinite justice.

Their operation names might be cool, but rankwise is a different story. Would you want to be a Lance Corporal-of-Horse? I wouldn't.

Who's the cat that won't cop out
when there's danger all about
(Shaft!)

You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother--
(Shut your mouth)
But I'm talkin' about Shaft
(Then we can dig it)
He's a complicated man
but no one understands him but his woman

Of course, if the Iraqis are monitoring coalition transmissions, all the Bond references would make it clear that a British Operation is about to take place.

Perhaps they should confuse them with:

Operation: Obvious Diversionary Tactic (to be used for the main assault)

Operation: Main Assault (to be used as a diversion)

Operation: -al Pause (to used when we overstretch our supply lines)
