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"?
Would you prefer:

"Operation annihiliation"
"Operation bloody streets"
"Operation decapitation"

It is hilarious to me that those who decry the noble names would be appalled if we used more brutal names and would complain about our barbarism!
