After more than two months of airstrikes against the Islamic State, the Pentagon has given its operation against the militant group a name: Inherent Resolve. Col. Edward Thomas, a spokesman for Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, disclosed the name to a handful of reporters at the Pentagon on Wednesday. He offered no details on its genesis, or why it took so long for the Defense Department to name the operation. The Wall Street Journal reported Oct. 3 that Inherent Resolve was proposed, but rejected by senior officers at the Pentagon. washingtonpost/news/checkpoint/wp/2014/10/15/operation-against-the-islamic-state-to-be-called-inherent-resolve/
