Given the decidedly non-warlike theme of Australian defence force recruiting ads, pehaps 'Operation healing sick Iraqi kids' would be best

Yeah, we've had the worst operation names recently. To tell you the truth, I'm a little embarrassed about it also. Still, I don't think its anything to pull support over, but then again, I'm not Australian.

Our main problem is that we have to PC everything; however, our popularity right now is in the toilet so I don't see why it should matter.

Pax Americana is very good...

Does that mean the real name of this operation is Iraqi French?
