"Infinite Justice" offensive to Muslims

NPR | self

I just heard Donald Rumsfeld on the radio answering reporters' questions, and one reporter asked if the operation in the middle east would really be named "Infinite Justice."
When Rumsfeld replied that he had 'heard' the name, but that it might not be the actual name of the action, the reporter replied that he had spoken to Muslim clerics, and that "infinite justice" was offensive because "only Allah can provide infinite justice."
To which Rumsfeld replied that we would not name it anything that might be offensive!

Thoughts?

But for now, I wish Gore had won. He wouldn't be handling the situation any better, but at least we would have expected it.

This statement should never be uttered. Only by God's grace die we escape such a fate. With Gore, you wouldn't have to worry about anything but what Gore wanted done because frankly that is all Gore cared about - what he wanted done. A scary man to have in charge of the military.

This statement is a kick in the face to all those who have worked so hard to save this country from the Clinton/Gore types. We don't deserve a statement like that.

"...Let's unleash the SWINE BOMB..."

You jest (I hope) but this pork thing does have legs...

If their disdain of all things porcine is so exaggerated that they actually fear mere contact with the other white meat, I say use it!

Use it to 'pollute' areas we want to deny to them...

Use it during interrogations...

Let's ask ourselves, 'Would these bastards honor our religious traditions or convictions'?

The answer, of course is not just 'No', but 'Hell No'.

Turnabout being fair play as it is, we should not only hold their beliefs in contempt, we should also actively exploit them against their interests.

[What a crock.]

We shall see. Nobody will be happier than I am if I am wrong.

[Agog]

I think that may have been what is known as sarcasm.

How about "Operation Fried Bacon"?

[Storm Orphan]

No kidding. Maybe we should have called a cease fire in 1945 on Hitler's birthday.

(PS - New U.S. Army Ordnance Standard - All rounds to be greased with bacon. Order of the Chief of Staff.)

I'm offended that Bush said he wants them "dead or alive." I don't want them alive-they should be killed on the spot

Hey, the name is perfect. If only Allah can provide Infinite Justice, then our campaign can help them meet Allah.

Oh, and I wouldn't want a name for the war that might offend our enemies.

[Gargantua]

INFINITE JUSTICE is the perfect name for this operation.

We ARE sending all these murderers to Allah for INFINITE JUSTICE. Perfect.

[IowaHawk]

So "Infinite Justice" is offensive? Okey dokey, scratch that one from the list. Here's a few more possibilities:

Operation Smoking Camels
Operation Allah Allah Oxen Free
Operation Turban Disturbin'
Operation Make a Wreck o' Mecca
Operation Afghan Hound
Operation Kabul Kaboom
Operation Permanent Midnight at The Oasis
Operation Falafel Feel Awful

and my personal favorite:

American Badass

http://capitolhillblue.com/Article.asp?ID=22253 sorry, I am new to this, please excuse me, but this will make you barf! What about the poor souls who were killed last Tuesday.

[Petronski]

Wait til the military action gets going, THEN they'll be really offended.

[NYC GOP Chick]

I think OPERATION WHOOPASS has a nice ring to it...

[VoodooEconomist]

Offensive? Tough s**t!!!! We are NOT a Democracy! We don't poll or take votes when we name military operations. People who have a problem with that can move to another country.

[Pay now bill Clinton]

How about "For Great Justice -- All your base are belong to us"?

************ OPERATION INFINITE FReedom ****************

Also known as the war on the PC police and the left.

Me thinks that 6000+ casualties is indicitive of the use of a "weapon of mass destruction". Most are calling for an eye for an eye. I'm calling for a Head,Torso,Arms,Legs for an eye. Piss on this sending our boys in. Nuke the military targets and scare the hell out of the rest of the nations who oppose us. And believe me, the Russians would love to have the green light to use nukes in their situation....

[carton253]

My, word... aren't you over-reacting just a tad.

[SEA]

How's this for a non-offensive name: The war to kick your sorry a$$es into the sub-basement of hell and make sure your kind never walk the earth again.

Didn't offend me. I like it.

Why aren't the Arab-Americans and the Muslim clerics shouting to the rooftops that they're OFFENDED BY THE TERRORISTS? Why aren't they focusing on the OUTRAGE OF TERRORISM, instead of accusing the victims of terrorism - the American people - of causing hurts and slights. I tell, you there'd be a lot less fear and suspicioun of Arab-Americans if more of them would outwardly proclaim that they're with us and against the terrorists.
