Well, "Operation Coxsackie Freedom" has three significant problems.

1) I like it.  Something wrong with that.

2) "Coxsackie" is the most annoying word in the whole world.  (I think it's 
Iroquois for "Place that White Man calls Coxsackie.")  The locals pronounce 
it Co-SAHK-ee.  But then, the locals pronounce Athens as AY-thens.  And 
then there's Cairo, pronounced Care-o, down the road.  There's no Sparta 
around here ... or maybe there is and it's just pronounced "Albany".

3) And speaking of locals, "Operation Coxsackie Freedom" gives me the 
feeling that "insurgents" from Care-o and AY-thens will start blowing 
things up and threatening to paint hostages...

But then, calling it the "First Annual Peloponnesian War", while it appeals 
to my sense of absurdity, would require that I learn to spell 
Pellipponinesseran.

"Operation Coxsackie Freedom" it is.
