It's just another odd thing about this no-name war against and enemy we call ISIL but is not Islamic and not a state, but we still refer to it as the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant."

ISIS Operation Has New Website, but Still No Name - Washington Wire - WSJ

The Pentagon unveiled a new Web page Friday for tracking the ongoing war in Iraq and Syria. The new page was labelled “Targeted Operations Against ISIL Terrorists.”

But Adm. Kirby denied that the website label was the name of the new operation, so the war continues remains without a moniker. In a front page article in The Wall Street Journal today, we look at how names were chosen in previous operations, as well as names that were rejected, and review a list of possible candidates for the current engagement in Iraq and Syria.

Troops not eligible for campaign medal in fight against ISIS | TheHill
No medal yet for troops fighting ISIS | TheHill

so here is our task, to come up with a name Obama can use to properly identify this... thing, mission, operation, whatever:

Operation - 'Save Obama's Bacon'
Operation - 'Save The Senate'
Operation - 'Don't Do Stupid ****'
Operation - 'Look Busy'
Operation - 'Roosting Chickens'

I've been through the desert on a war with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one but ISIS to give you no pain
La, la, la, la, la ...
