I believe Iraqi War should be referred to as "Bush's War"
That way whenever we speak of it, it is given proper attribution and people understand that Bush started this voluntary, unnecessary war, the country didn't.

1. Why not? Jefferson always referred to the War of 1812
As "Mr. Madison's war."

9. Much more accurate
The Iraqi people had nothing to do with it. This is Bush's War all the way. He fought for it. He earned it. He burned the Constitution for it. I think the least we could do is name if after him.

11. Great idea...
It's a lot more polite, too, than some of the words I've used to describe it. But it never hurts for Bush and his war to be linked, forever, in the world's mind.

14. I`ve called it "Bu$h`s War Crime" since he attacked the Afghan`s
Who did not pose a threat to us either. But the oil pipeline had to go through their country. God forbid we ever attack the Saudi`s who actually attacked us.
Peace

15. Yes, I remember 3 weeks into the invasion, NBC calling it "his war".
With great admiration.

Something like: "Yes, Bill, the war's going great, and the president has to take the credit, because as you know, it's HIS war." (admiring smile)

18. What a brilliant idea! Great! Starting now, it's the "BUSH WAR!"
Since he created it. He "fixed the facts." And let the chips fall where they may. Sure is an awfully lot of chips, when on thinks about it.

Wondering... Do you still think he's retiring at 9:00 PM EST, still?
