"Infinite Justice" offensive to Muslims

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?

Murderous diaperheads will be b!tch slapped all over this world and sent to the next. They need to get their priorities in order.
To: van_erwin
Sorry. Muslims haven't cornered the market on what we can call anything.
If they don't like it tough t**ty! The name was designed to mean something to Americans and the rest of the world can like it or lump it!
'Nuff said.

Maybe they'll figure it out as they're roasting in hell. After all they've got infinity to do so.

OPERATION INFINITE EXTERMINATION... f u "offended" mullahs.
To all the loyal Arab/Muslim Americans: It is your duty to help identify and locate the remaining and future coward terrorist rats burroughed in here in the USA. They are amongst us and waiting to strike again.
And to all, please do not hurt any innocent people.
We are changed for ever.
The adults are in charge now, NOT the wimp PC touchy feely flower power greeny peacenics who better stay out of the way and are partially responsible for what has happened.

We should call it Infinite Crusade, so both words will piss them off.

I've no doubt that the leftists at NPR will be offended by
any name given to this operation. Of course, rather that say it themselves, they will go out and find some childish twerp to whom they can attribute same.
I darn well hope that the President plans to do a lot harsher things than merely offending leftists before this is all over.

I know that I am going against the grain here. BUT, the name of the operation is trivial. If it offends someone it costs nothing to change it.

Our marching song!
In love and in war
(Two things I adore)
They tell me that all things are fair,
So don't be surprised
As I pluck out your eyes
While I bugger your fat derriere.
Your children and wife
will be put to the knife
When we've sated our carnal desire,
Though long after you're cold
They may live to grow old
Becuase we don't easily tire.

"I was going to suggest 'Operation Nuke Death to the Goat F***ing Sand Hoboes', but I can see now that this might be a little too edgy..."I am SOOOooo glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read your suggestion! As Bill & Ted would say, your input is "Most Excellent!"
LMAO!

hmmm... Nothing here, move along...
To: van_erwin
Wow! If the name gets their knickers in a twist, what will the falling bombs do?!?
To: rebdov
If it offends someone it costs nothing to change it.Yeah, let's put this war together in the same way sitcoms are made. Bush and his advisors will do lunch with Osama and his mullahs and chew over some working titles. They're sure to come up with something inoffensive and fun!

Or how about operation, Let's pound on their testicles with a big brass hammer, till their rectums whistle the "Star Spangled Banner."

Tough! Deal with it.

What do you think should happen to these terrorists? Were you as gungho to get them?
Author and NRA Life Member Tom Clancy about the USS Liberty
Tom Clancy in his book "The Sum of All Fears":
The key to it, Qati knew, was whether or not the
Americans would put real pressure on the Zionists.
They'd never done so. They'd allowed the Israelis
to attack an American warship and kill American
sailors--and forgiven them before the bleeding
had stopped, before the last victim had died. When
American military forces had to fight for every
dollar of funds from their own Congress, the same
spineless body of political whores fell over itself
giving arms to the Jews.

but I sure wouldn't want to hurt their feelings...
