We need to change the term for Iraq.
Iraq is not a war, per se, it is an occupation and should be referred to as such. I believe by doing this it will put a greater amount of negativity on the Iraq occupation and this, will in turn, increase awareness by sheep and other right-leaning parasites.

What say all of you?

1. It's just another conflict between sides who disagree on whether
or not it's alright to invade a sovereign oil rich country in the middle east.

2. Well, it'd be much more accurate, but the government would never
admit it.

4. The bible calls it babylon
"MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN"

"God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; TEKEL, you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting; PARSIN, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_writing_on_the_wall

So it seems, god has already smashed the empire that worships nothing but money and gold, and
given it over to the persians (iraq/iran/afganistan) where the empire is broken and
squandered by god's order.

"persia" is a good term, it'll ring a bit more in the ears of the nazi-xtians.

5. How about we call it Smirky's Folly
or Bush's Occupation?

Give credit to the one who started it.
War on Terra is just so 2001.

We need to frame it so he's totally responsible so the war crimes court can do their job more efficiently and leave us out of it.
