Why Do News Organizations Read Too Much into a Military Code-Name? “Odyssey Dawn” is Just As Good as “Enduring Freedom”, “Operation Iraqi Freedom”, “Desert Shield”, “Desert Storm” and “Desert Fox.”

The press seems to be getting bored with criticizing the President’s ill-advised foray into a military confrontation with Libya, and is now ridiculing the military code-name for the operation as well.

I don’t seem to see any reference in the article to the Libyans fighting for their own freedom over the long haul in Fox News’s forensic analysis of the code-name.  That was what I perceived the code-name to be referencing. 

The military follows the orders of the politicians, and the politicians are solely responsible for getting us into another mess.   That’s who the press needs to be focusing on.
