The Correct Name for Bush's War? Operation Iraqi Lesser Freedom
Edited on Tue Aug-23-05 05:48 PM by David Zephyr
Of course, we all know that the White House's initial operating marketing term for their illegal invasion and war back in 2003 was Operation Iraqi Liberation. However, when someone pointed out that the acronym just happened to be O.I.L., the Bush cabal quickly and understandably renamed their military adventure "Operation Iraqi Freedom".

Now we have seen the most ugly fine print of what the "new" Iraqi constitution and government are likely to mean: Lesser Freedom.

Lesser Freedom for Iraqi women under Bush's new Shi'a Islamic government than they had under even Saddam Hussein.

Lesser Freedom for Iraqi non-Muslims than under Saddam Hussein.

Operation Iraqi Lesser Freedom.

Only George W. Bush could create a government worse than the tyrant Saddam Hussein ran. What an accomplishment! And it only cost our nation $200 Billion, two thousand American lives, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives and the Social Security Surplus for America's seniors.

2. The correct name...
The corredt name for Bush's war is:

BUSH'S WAR

That is the "noble cause" for which our troops are dying ...to make Mr. Wimp feel like a real cowBOY. (...and I stress the word "boy".)

5. Nice job, Mr. War President.
You delivered, as promised.

Maybe your ranch could become a national cemetery.

(meanwhile somewhere on another thread elsewhere on DU, some good Democrat is offering up women's right's to appeal to the radical center and get more votes in the "heartland")
