Operation Operation Name

Famous operation names include Operation Overlord (Battle of Normandy), Barbarossa (Nazi Invasion of the Soviet Union), the Manhattan Project (Atomic Bomb), Desert Storm (Gulf War I).

Here's one you might not have heard of: Operation Blackbird.

What would you think:

• British raid on rail lines in Italy
• German seizure and occupation of Vichy France
• US Invasion of Panama
• Multistate baby-formula Investigation

Bam! You'd be right.
There is a codename for a multistate baby-formula investigation.



It traced money back from infant-formula traffickers to, I swear, nations where terrorist groups are active (haven't we been scared into thinking they're everywhere?).

So... before you buy black market baby formula (wherever this would be), think how you might be financing terror.

And just so you know, the US Invasion of Panama was called "Just Cause" -- even though something cooler like "Blackbird" wasn't taken already.
