US’s ISIS fight gets a name: ‘Inherent Resolve’

It may be less punchy than previous nicknames for US conflicts in the Middle East; remember Operation Desert Storm andits thunderous attacks on Saddam Hussein’s occupation army; but the Pentagon has finally named its fight against ISIS: Operation Inherent Resolve.
The naming process, which took weeks of quiet deliberation behind closed doors at US Central Command and at the Pentagon, is part of a package of administrative moves under way to organize a long-term military campaign. Yhe name is less awe-inspiring than any of the names chosen for US military operations in Iraq over the past two decades such as Desert Shield or Desert Storm.
