I really couldn't believe this when I first read it:

The journalists -- and the mullahs who countenanced this attack -- are getting a say in what phrasing is used in speeches and what the war's "operation" is going to be named?!??!
Who CARES what it's called! U.S. armed forces are going to be shooting people, blowing people up, and so on, and they're worried that the NAME might be offensive?!??
I hereby propose that the operation's name be changed to Operation Fluffy Bunnies. Everyone loves fluffy bunnies, after all (except Albert, of course) -- they offend no one (except Albert). Then the journalists and clerics can go screw themselves and let Bush and his military advisors plan what to do, where to bomb, and whom to shoot.
