Shining Presence (Israel)
Vigilant Warrior (Kuwait)
Provide Hope (Former Soviet Union)
Support Justice (South America)
Nobel Response (Kenya)

I mean, how about "Operation Iraqi Freedom"?

These have more to do with motivating and encouraging the troops than they do with garnering popular public support. Think about it, how many of those operation names were common public knowledge prior to Desert Storm? the fact that there was a pattern evident before Desert Storm shows that these names are not aimed at the public.
