Inherent Resolve?

The American fight against ISIS in Iraq and Syria is now called operation Inherent Resolve.  The name was given to the operation by the Pentagon.  I have to wonder if those who chose the title were being sarcastic.  After all, the one thing that president Obama has displayed in crisis after crisis is a startling lack of resolve.  Maybe the point is that the military, unlike the president, has the resolve to win.  Who knows?  Maybe they just chose it because the initials of the operation IR come ahead of ISIS in the alphabet.

For what it is worth, the wags are going at it to come up with better names.  The current favorite seems to be operation Incoherent Response.
