Beyond the clearly PR-ish, like Operation Enduring Freedom, now, with the air action against Libya, we have Operation Odyssey Dawn.
Is nobody in the military, or Pentagon civilians, familiar with Homer's epic? Odysseus taking a decade to get home, including time with the lotus-eaters, on an island off today's Tunisia. The whole epic is about getting lost or stuck on various places on the edges of North Africa.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
