Snicker. Surely Bret Baier is just making a funny, right? Nope!
Oh good Lord RT @michellemalkin: NOT a parody. RT @thejointstaff Ongoing actions in Iraq & Syria designated as Operation Inherent Resolve.

No, for real. As Twitchy reported, this is happening:
Ongoing actions in Iraq & Syria designated as Operation Inherent Resolve.

Good grief.
What do YOU think about the new US operation name "Inherent Resolve"? (for the operation in Iraq and Syria that has been ongoing) Thoughts?
— Bret Baier (@BretBaier) October 15, 2014
Oh, we have thoughts. Lots of them. Take it away, Twitter!

@morningmoneyben isn't that the name of the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie?

Did anyone look up the definitions of both “inherent” and “resolve” before approving that? No? Okay, glad we got that out of the way. #Smrt

"Inherent Resolve" sounds like the name of a failed 90s tech company not a military operation. Who came up with that?

Inherent Resolve? Ripe for parody. #tcot

Does the Pentagon have Arab Speaking advisers?There isn't 1 way you can translate "inherent resolve" without sounding tacky & out of context

Obama officially names current military operation "Incoherent Resolve". Oh wait, sorry, that's "Inherent Resolve"

Keep it coming!
On the flip side, perhaps the name is apropos:
@BretBaier It sounds like an oxymoron but not a good one. A muddle. Maybe it's a perfect fit.

It’s funny, because it’s true.
