FOX news just reported that the initial wave of military readiness by the United States has been named Operation Nobel Eagle.

God bless the United States of America and all her brave soldiers.

Same thing happened at my job! I printed the eagle-talon graphic and showed it to my boss. We just moved into a new facility and aren't allowed to put anything on the walls (brand-new building-itis), but my boss took one look at it, grabbed a roll of tape and posted it on the front door of our department!

Let us not forget the brave men that serve in The U.S. Coast Guard.

I don't know. Maybe its just something nice to say as we send them to hell.

[randog]

ROFLMAO!! You win--submit that directly to Rumsfeld!

Going to war give them hell.

Even D-Day had a poetic name, which I forgot.

Operation Overlord

How about Operation Eagle's Prey!

[ao98]

I took the eagle sharpening his talons and Uncle Sam rising out of the twin towers, laminated them and put them on the back glass of my SUV. With a large freerepublic.com underneath.

Right, Thanks. So, Desert Shield - ODS Desert Storm - ODS Noble Eagle - ONE The military action itself will have the acronym ONE? Is that how it works?

To the terrorists!

The day is done, and the darkness Falls from the wings of Night, As a feather is wafted downward From an eagle in his flight. The Day is done.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

I bet Operation Screaming Eagle!!!

Renamed by the troops as Operation Deep Eagle "Doodoo" as in what will rain down on the bad guys.

[ET(end tyranny)]

I was thinking along familiar lines with Operation Eagle Drop!

[JasonC]

D-Day was called Operation Overlord.

Why do military operations have poetic names? I will let a man who truly understood the matter explain it.

"A man does not have himself killed for a few cents a day, or for a petty distinction. You must speak to the soul to electrify the man," said Napoleon.

My whole house is ROTFLOCO!

"...I got my spirit and my sharp tongue from my mom."

Your mom says you can keep the spirit, but she needs the tongue back. Mumbled something about it being a "b**ch to order pizza without one....." or some such thing. Was hard to understand her.

The end of this campaign will come when the arab world shares our values, much like the Japanese and Germans do today.

Value #1 -- Don't slaughter five thousand firemen, policemen, office workers, pilots and military people -- sons, daughters, wives, husbands, moms and dads.

[NeoCaveman]

What, I don't see anything on the homepage.

[Dianna]

I haven't seen the Uncle Sam one or the eagle looking at the arrows...can someone direct me?

Thanks!!
