Inherent Resolve! The war against ISIS/ISIL/Islamic State has a name!
The press is all a-twitter that the Obama Administration has given this new war in Iraq and Syria a name – Inherent Resolve. Isn’t that reason to celebrate? From the Washington Post;
Col. Edward Thomas, a spokesman for Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, disclosed the name to a handful of reporters at the Pentagon on Wednesday. He offered no details on its genesis, or why it took so long for the Defense Department to name the operation. The Wall Street Journal reported Oct. 3 that Inherent Resolve was proposed, but rejected by senior officers at the Pentagon.
Because, you know, the genesis of the name is more important than an examination of the facts for the need for the operation – or a discussion on how we can insure that it doesn’t happen again (in Afghanistan).
Now that we have a name for it, the aesthetics are complete. The war is almost won. The media can stop calling it “the war against ISIS” or “the war in Iraq and Syria” or the “3rd Iraq War”. I’m sure my readers can come up with a better moniker for this inevitable return to Iraq.

Operation Groundhog Day-Middle East episode
Operation Sinking Poll Numbers
Operation SQUIRREL
Operation AGAIN? No, SERIOUSLY?!?
A question to you all that have a better undertanding of military battle tactics. I was just a lowly ground pounder that went where told. Why is it that we keep seeing video of these fucking savage terrorists strutting their stuff in broad daylight, driving old Russian tanks shooting there rifles into the air etc. Why is it that we don’t have satellite or drone surveillance on them and then drop a few missiles on them? Can anyone venture a guess?
C’mon now, satellite time costs money. We don’t have that kind of dough and can’t divert them from the war on Global Warming. Plus, the operators might get PTSD.
And the 0bama’s might need the money for another vacation.
The White House first selection for OPERATION name was:
OPERATION POST RETREAT WORKPLACE RE-ENTRY
It has a name?
Oh, well, I’m so glad that problem has been solved now! I can go back to making finger sandwiches for my nuncheon tomorrow.
You don’t really want to know what my name for it is, do you?
Nah. Children might read this.
Operation Organized Grab Ass.
Hold it a second. Have we actually DECLARED war this time? Or does the last declaration of war cover this current operation? Is this a war, police action, UN Directive, what is it?
And I’m serious, because I’ve heard all this talk about an operation over there again, but no declaration of what kind of action this is.
More like “Errant Resolve”.

My vote was OP Alfred E. Newman.
“What, me worry?”.
OP Inherent Resolve, eh?
You know, when you think about it, this is pretty interesting. Especially since now this is the first time in a long time where it will be common to see people with two stars on their CIB (Gulf War, OEF, and now OIR).
Wish I was over there, making a stand for our country. Regardless who the CiC is, this is a good fight.
Come on now Farflung Wanderer, this still falls under the Global War On Terror, so no CIB with a star for you doncha know.
Besides,they can’t award CIB’s for this, because there will be no ‘boots on the ground’. The stupidity of the Civilians in charge of the miltary right now is amazing.
“RESOLVE” because we have to “RE-SOLVE a problem we already solved twice before.
More like Inherent Bullshit. We’ll see if they stick with the name after the elections.
The name I had in mind was “Operation Enduring Soup Sandwich”.
Operation BOHICA.
“OPERATION INHERENT RESOLVE”, how many focus groups did they run that past before they decided to type that into B. Hussein 0bama’s teleprompter? More like Operation Perpetual BULLSHIT!!
This is some funny shit. It’s like the names given to acts of Congress: If you guess that the content is opposite what the title implies, you’ll nearly always be correct.
O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? that which we call a turd
By any other name would smell as shitty;
Apologies to Shapespeare.
Inherent Resolve! The sure name to depend on when you don’t want to upset, offend or possible scare anyone folks. That’s right, it’s the name to look for when you’re going to war…sort of…maybe.
Oh I forgot. “I’m Barrack Obama and I endorse this ad for Inherent Resolve. We Resolve that Inherently something is gonna happen. We don’t know what or when or by whom but the best estimates tell us, something has to. I promise you that when it does we Resolve to respond or at least make a response. We may not act on it right away but we’ll say something of import for sure. You have my word on it America. Thank you and have a good evening.”
Operation Let’s Fire People Already.
Just read today the Army is planing to fight climate change at their bases while ISIL is just doing what it wants. Sounds like a lot of highers in the military need the boot.
Folks, I gave this operation an appropriate name a month ago:
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=55279
Apparently the truth was too painful for those folks in the 5-sided asylum.
Operation Sand Trap
Operation Incipient Rewind.
Operation Incompetent Retreat
Operation Incomplete Returns.
Operation Incompetant Retards
Operation Diminishing Returns
Operation Incompetent Neutered CINC.
“”Operation Incompetent Neutered CINC.””
OINC
Sounds a lot like Oink.
Good one.
Operation Bush’s Fault!
Inherent. Resolve.
I got. . . nothing. Just. Nothing.

In honor of our ever growing natioal debt and that China owns a large portion of that debt, I submit;
Operation Urgent Chinese Help.
OUCH.
They will probably be paying for the largest portion of this operation anyway.
