In the harsh light of

In the harsh light of a Monday morning, now that football’s cathartic release is but a fading memory and the news gets harder to ignore every day, my heart begins again to rebel against the seemingly inevitable war coming to Bagdhad.  I’m not here to discuss the politics, I just don’t want to jump the gun on this thing.  And we certainly have enough on our domestic agenda that’s worth the cost of this war.  But I’ve decided to throw in the towel and start leading cheers for our bellicose national policy.  I think the whole problem till now was that I didn’t have a catchy nickname for the impending operations to get me revved up.  I suppose I’m not the first to query along these lines but I was able to come up with a few names that would stiffen my resolve for this invasion:

Operation Rabid Weasel
Operation Enlightened Crusade
Operation Hummer Promo
Operation Preemptive Annihilation
Operation Megalo Maniac
Operation Absolute Unction
Operation Crowdpleaser
Operation Paternal Redemption

I’m feeling more patriotic already.  I mean, to the extent that “patriotic” means I want more people to be killed in combat.
