Name that War- er, I mean name that military strike!

I can't help but wonder what nifty name the boys and girls at the Pentagon have come up with for the planned military strike, bombing, war, whatever, against Syria.

Here are some of the golden oldies:

Urgent Fury- Invasion of Grenada

Golden Pheasant- Deployment of troops in Honduras

Ranch Hand- Spraying of Agent Orange over Vietnam for 10 years

The Deserts (all Iraq):

Desert Storm

Desert Strike

Desert Fox

Desert Scorpion

Desert Thrust

Enduring Freedom- Afghanistan

Enduring Freedom Philippines

Enduring Freedom- Horn of Africa

Operation Odyssey Dawn- Libya
