Which wiz kid came up with Operation Odyssey Dawn, the formal name for the bombing of Libya? <\/p>\n
The sad thing is that they probably spent more effort naming it than figuring out the strategy. <\/p>\n
Following are some good quips on that name:
\nSTEPHEN COLBERT: “Odyssey Dawn? That’s not a military operation. That’s a Carnival Cruise ship.” <\/p>\n
JON STEWART: “Odyssey Dawn? You really name a combat operation after a Yes album? <\/p>\n
DAVID LETTERMAN: “Odyssey Dawn. I believe it’s the first military operation named for a stripper. <\/p>\n
“Apparently the White House tossed out a number of perfectly good names
\nbefore arriving at ‘Operation Odyssey Dawn’:<\/p>\n
10.Operation Nine Months In The Senate Didn’t Prepare Me For This<\/p>\n
9. Operation Organizing for Libya<\/p>\n
8. Operation Double Standard<\/p>\n
7. Operation FINE! I’ll Do Something<\/p>\n
6. Operation Enduring Narcissism<\/p>\n
5. Operation So That’s What the Red Button Does<\/p>\n
4. Operation France Backed Me Into A Corner<\/p>\n
3. Operation Start Without Me<\/p>\n
2. Operation Unlike Bush Wars This One Is Justified Because Hey Look A Squirrel<\/p>\n
1. Operation Aimless Fury”<\/p>\n
