WTF Is It Now?!?

U.S. ponders name for likely war against Iraq
Operation Shitstorm?

"Among the pieces yet to fall into place in the likely war against Iraq is a name for it. So far, the buildup in the Persian Gulf has shared the umbrella moniker for the worldwide anti-terrorism campaign, Enduring Freedom.

"There are all sorts of rules for coming up with a name, involving many Pentagon offices. Commanders choosing the operation name for a war in Iraq have to balance security concerns with the message, says Conrad Crane, director of the U.S. Army Military History Institute.

'The naming tradition is rich and varied. It generally combines a commander's gut instinct with a computer database of possibilities, running names up the chain of command and hoping the result is memorable. At the end of the Vietnam War, the Defense Department issued guidelines on names. They must not be overly bellicose, offend good taste or a particular culture or ally, or employ exotic words, trite expressions or well-known commercial trademarks." - link.
