What does this mean? Honestly!

The Obama Pentagon has decided to drop the phrase "War on Terror" as a moniker to describe our ongoing and deadly global conflict against Islamic radicalism. In its place, the president has decided on a new name: the "Overseas Contingency Operation."

Just what the hell does that mean? I certainly hope that name doesn't confuse Pentagon planners, who no doubt deal with myriad other "overseas contingency operations" (i.e. possible future conflicts with China, Russia, North Korea, etc). Couldn't our president have picked something easier to remember, and more to the point, like "Operation Pacify," or "Operation Appeasement?"
