Default Rename the war!

"Operation Enduring Freedom" - doesn't talk to me, it doesn't have that je ne sais quois.

Some alternatives:
Falujah Fuckup
Operation Sandtrap (credit seal jr.)
Operation Painful Deception
Operation Neoconundrum

I know you folks can do better.

"Operation Clusterfuck" has a nice ring to it.

To borrow from the Daily Show:

Operation Mess-o-potamia

I think it is already aptly named:

War on Terra.

Operation Military Footprint
Operation Dollar Hegemony
Operation Candy From a Baby
Operation Bring on the Rapture

While I like most of these, I'd like to second:

Operation Clusterfuck.

It just feels right....
