What’s so odd about “Inherent Resolve” is that there were reports that it had already been considered and scraped as a name because it was just too “bleh.” But now it’s back?
As far as the war is actually going, however, this is a much more accurate name:

“Incoherent Resolve” is funny because it’s true.
More commentary:
"Inherent" Resolve a weird fit for ISIL op. "Quivering" or "Wavering" more appropriate. Come to think of it, "resolve" doesn't work either.

@jaketapper In the face of rampant beheading, I had hoped for something a bit more robust.

Inherent Resolve battles tough stains like ISIS, coffee, grape juice, motor oil, spaghetti sauce, red wine and grass. http://t.co/mKWCKwK7Va
