What will republicans call cut and run when they cut and run from Iraq

[BOSSHOG]

Stand up and Flight? No doubt, as we speak rove has wordsmiths working in the bowels of the white house coming up with a catchy, yet short and rhymy phrase that will roll right off the tongues of the flag wavers touting their heroes for not cutting and running but "Leave no Private Behind?" "The Clean Deserts Initiative?"

By October Democrats will be bashed for being war mongers.

1. Cut and run, my foot! I was taught at a young age not to

run with scissors, which translates into not to cut and run. You fool liberals won't be happy until every God-given child is running with scissors, will you? Everyone just running and cutting anything in sight.

It's just wrong, just plain wrong, I say.

[Totally Committed]

2. "Victory"

Better yet -- "The First Great Victory in the War on Terror".

TC

[Cosmocat]

3. Absolutely ...

They will call it a victory, blame the Iraqis and weak kneed liberberals for all the bloodletting that remains ...

[MuseRider]

4. Decidering to skeedadle?

:shrug: Victory probably.

[endarkenment]

5. Peace with Honor

See Nixon. Some old shit, same as it ever was.

[Totally Committed]

8. Oh, that's good....

Peace with Honor... Victory with Honor... I can hear it now!

TC

[Sal Minella]

6. "Turn Slowly and Meander Away" gets my vote. They can't have

a catchphrase that sounds too much like Cut and Run.

heck, I like "Stand Up and Flight" too! "The Clear Deserts Initiative" is even better.

No doubt, by October the peace-loving Repubs (with the profits from their Halliburton stock and Big Oil stock all securely tucked away) will be berating the Dems for getting us into Iraq......and Coulter will be outraged if anyone suggests any Republican voted for going into Iraq.....

[Jacobin]

16. "Advance to the Rear!"

I forget what general used that euphemism for retreating after getting his ass kicked in a battle.

[paparush]

7. "The Iraqui Indepdence Act of year 2156."

[KansDem]

9. "Mission Reaccomplished?"

Or "Mission Really, Really Accomplished This Time...Really."

[BOSSHOG]

10. Cause bush is the reaccomplisher right?

Now I hear he is concerned about global warming. Next he'll burn his country club membership card. It must be an election year.

[Sal Minella]

20. Yes, this is another one I was thinking about.....

Mission Really Accomplished This Time, Really!!!
No, Really, We Mean it, We Really Mean It This Time!!!

[Felix Mala]

11. Similar to what Nixon called it in the 70's: Iraqization...

[BOSSHOG]

12. Wouldn't you Love to observe

bush telling us about his "iraqization" policy. Five syllables. Live show.

[Felix Mala]

14. He and others have already laid the groundwork for this...

although the White House website is getting harder and harder to navigate when it comes to past speeches. I'm sure someone out there has noted ways in which he's prepared his blind followers for this.

My guess is that sometime in December or January there will be a quick declaration that the Iraqi's have everything they need to make it work, followed by an even faster withdrawal. When the whole place goes the way of Saigon, Bush can "credibly" say, "It was ok when we left..." Then he'll have no Iraq war to bug him while he has 'a life to lead,' and "legacy" to hone in his last two years in office.

[bamacrat]

13. The Devine Departure.

Or maybe Strategic Strolling.....out of Iraq into Iran.

[Mountainman]

15. Iraqinization.

[one_true_leroy]

17. "Boot 'n Scoot"

sounds apropo...

[endarkenment]

18. Nixon's peace with honor speech, the text:

"Throughout the years of negotiations, we have insisted on peace with honor. In my addresses to the Nation from this room of January 25 and May 8, <1972> I set forth the goals that we considered essential for peace with honor.

In the settlement that has now been agreed to, all the conditions that I laid down then have been met. A cease-fire, internationally supervised, will begin at 7 p.m., this Saturday, January 27, Washington time. Within 60 days from this Saturday, all Americans held prisoners of war throughout Indochina will be released. There will be the fullest possible accounting for all of those who are missing in action.

During the same 60-day period, all American forces will be withdrawn from South Vietnam.

The people of South Vietnam have been guaranteed the right to determine their own future, without outside interference."

Busholini's successor will be giving the same speech.

Please note that we cut'n'ran from vietnam in 60 days. What the heck is this six months/12 months crap?

19. Disengage and extricate

It's a very subtle difference.

[Sal Minella]

21. Disengage, Extricate, Flee......It's a continuum.......

[Canuckistanian]

23. Or, to paraphrase Monty Python,

"Run away, Run away!"

[MGD]

22. Justification for wasting thousands of lives

ruining hundreds of thousands of lives
and acruing at least a trillion dollars of debt that we would not have otherwise have incured.
