When your war, military operations, kinetic actions are named like Barbara Cartland romance novels, you really need a change of administration.
Desert Shield and Desert Storm sounded cool; like Vince Flynn or Louis L'Amour titles.
Operation Iraqi Freedom was dull; sounds like a textbook or operation manual.
But Odyssey Dawn?
I can actually see the cover art; a buxom, barely clad beauty in the arms of a shirtless Fabio,their long blond tresses mingling in the breeze, a pearly, pink dawn behind them as they clinch.
They could have called it "Sword to the Heart",
"Desperate Defiance",
"Broken Barriers" or even "Sweet Punishment".
I guess I should be grateful they didn't call it "A Kiss in the Desert".
Booyah.
