Name of the current conflict in Iraq?

Here's a more interesting question: by what name will we remember the "coalition" of forty odd nations that sat on their asses and "supported" us? You know, the one known today as the Coalition of the Willing?

I'm wavering between The Axis of Diesel and The Coalition of the Bought-Off.

I'm referring to it as "the fiscal deficit" myself.

The Invisible Alliance

I like both of those. Exspecially the second one.

Depends who will write history. If something terrible happends, then it will be named "First (Or Second) War of the New American Century".

I think this is the time to show this again

Operation extension of the New World Order.

I think this one should be left up to the Iraqis name as after all we were there to help free them.

I'm not sure "The American Invasion" would go down very well in the US

"Gulf War II" (or III) is too vague... Operation Iraqi Freedom is US propaganda... "The Son's Revenge" sounds like a B-category western...

Hmmm, harder than I though

Perhaps if we wish to use the standard media system of naming events, we could call it "Iraqigate".

Personally, I think we should call it the "Klamarfillzeidmittty War" just for the sake of confusion.

For you B-move fans.....

@archer_007 (and others who voted Iraqi-American war)

I'd say Iraqi-American War II.

Err, there were many other countries taking a significant part in the two wars we are talking about here….

Huh! I don't get it! The Iraqis all seem really pleased.

in that vein, "Gulf War II" sounds like a frickin' movie sequel. And a bad one, too

Speaking of movie sequels, they're way behind on 'Black Hawk Down' - what is it, number 4 now?
I don't mean to offend anyone - it's the movie title that's lame...

The patriotistic Americans will call it: "The War on Terror" Iraq is part of the war.

Other nations will call it: "War on Iraq" or something.


I call it: "Too much money, too little oil" (just kidding)

I wonder how come 7 people so far have voted for Radioactive monkeys, and yet none of them have the courage to stand up and show themselves......

 

[Ozz]

The 5th Crusade ?

 

[Pontiuth Pilate]

This would be the Ninth.

 

[h4ppy]

Operation Iraqi Liberation or in other words OIL. Actually I call it "The war in Iraq".
