This has come up a few times. Here was what I thought the most reasonable solution was: if the operation name is obviously meant to influence your opinion about the validity/success of the operation itself, it should not be used as the article title, and instead something more neutral and descriptive should be used.
So "Operation Barbarossa" -- no problem. "Operation Crossroads" -- no problem. "Operation Just Cause" -- should be "United States invasion of Panama" (which it is). "Operation Iraqi Freedom" -- should be something more neutral (it is currently "Iraq War", which I find a little too ambiguous, personally, since there have been many Iraq Wars, but anyway, anything is better than the operation name).

Personally I like "Gulf War II".
