Is that the official name for the operation in Iraq, like Operation Desert Storm? I just love these names they dream up.

Will General Tommy Franks turn out to have the same charisma as General "Stormin'" Norman Schwarzkopf did?

Nope,
it's something so unmemorable that I've forgotten it!

I think its what they call the tactics they're using - i.e. shock them so much with a show of force, which doesn't nesscessarily hit anyone, that the soldiers that see it will want to give up and surender

Shock & Awe = 1000 targets hit an hour.

The US has 10 times the firepower in the region than they did last time.

what about "Operation Potential Armageddon" -seems to fit the risks involved and the reckless nature of the whole enterprise

Wonder if terrorists use "Names" for their attacks??? "Oxford street clean up"( Could do with it!!)... "Birmingham Balti maker" etc etc...
