The War That Cried Wolfowitz
Liberal opinionist Nicholas Kristoff of the NYTimes had readers come up with monikers for the war in Iraq, which he quite correctly notes has no good name. Gulf War II? Eh. It wasn't fought in the Gulf, and it's all about the Sunni Triangle. His five winning entries were:
Dubya Dubya III Rolling Blunder Desert Slog Mess in Potamia, and Blood, Baath and Beyond |
Runners-up include:
Operation Unscramble Eggs A'bombin'nation Tigris by the Tail War of Mass Deception Coup d'États Unis The Charge of the Right Brigade The War of the Roves Operation Kick the Dog The Empire Strikes Out Mission Implausible: A Job Well Spun, and Operation Oops, We Did It Again |
Any suggestions from InstantReplay readers? Drop a comment below! My own quick thoughts:
Operation Forget Osama
Operation Unfinished Business
Family Feud: The Second Generation
Crashing the Baath Party
The Afterwar
The War That Wouldn't End
Chime in - I'd like to hear what you hawks would call this conflict.
