Operation Operation Names

Washington DC - Nov. 21, 2005 - The Pentagon has announced today that it will soon run out of operation names for the war in Iraq. After the next three military offenses, the Pentagon will either have to come up with new names or authorize a new naming system.

"No one in the Defense Secretary's office expected us to be in Iraq for this long, so our list is running out," said Pentagon Spokesmen Cpl. Bryant Ernst. After 'Operation Rabid Squirrel', 'Operation Drunken Jets Fan', and 'Operation Speed Freak on Springer', the next operation will be 'Operation Alpha', unless an alternative is found.

President Bush, travelling through China and Mongolia, addressed the issue at a press conference. "You see, we can't just use the same names over again, or else the terrorists will know what to expect." After the press conference, Pentagon officials looked at the floor, shook their heads, and began preparing for what to use after the Greek letters run out.
