Operation Epic Fury.
They're letting 13 year old Call of Duty players name ops now.

The RCMP have a national contest to let kids name new police service dogs. Why can't the Pentagon do the same for new wars?

Actually ask mega corporations to bid for naming rights
Operation Lower The Boom brought to you by Wal Mart

They can even ask the Kurds about the US’s (and the West’s, to be fair) track record re: helping people trying to bust out of their current MidEast landlord-tenant situations over the long term.

Cynics’ll wonder when current management is going to sell naming rights to the ops

Waiting to see the technology come along where at about the 5 seconds to land moment for a cruise missile or a smart bomb, a mini drone is deployed and its sole job is to loiter the area for say up to 1hr after impact to live stream on the ground responses to the bombing to gather intel and to be used to call in 2nd, 3rd, whatever the number is follow on strikes. Not sure if anyone has that tech yet, but I think it would have its uses.

Apparently now, the UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting this afternoon on the Iran affair.
I'm willing to bet the permanent members votes got his way: China and Russia vote for immediate stop to the fighting and measures against the US/Israel, the US vetoes, and the UK and France abstain.
Don't know why, but I can't find a bookie willing to take that bet.

That certainly puts the "TACO" and "No New Wars" slogans out of fashion.
Not a whiff of congressional authorization. Not a hope of expecting any, though, nor that any information provided to Congress would have a hope of remaining confidentially held if it could be exploited for domestic political advantage.
Canada and Australia have expressed a degree of support. Democrats have expressed a degree of opposition. Israel and a couple of Arab states on-side. The world has become a weird place.
If Iranians can find and fill a vacuum, almost all will be forgiven, depending on the nature of the "fill". Kurds might be expected to complicate a transition. The US will have to find the fine line between preventing the regime from successfully defending itself, and ham-fisted interference with whatever Iranians decide a replacement should be.

And herein lies the problem: The US is pretty bad at "you break it, you fix it" international work.
Except the UK says they have planes in the air and coordinating with the US.Apparently now, the UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting this afternoon on the Iran affair.

Sounding like they are taking this as a fight to the finish kind of deal.
