Thread on the SDMB currently asking what we’re going to call the new war. Apparently, “CNN is calling it ‘Showdown: IRAQ’; MSNBC is calling it ‘Conflict with Iraq’; The New York Times is calling it ‘Standoff with Iraq,’ ” but none of these have sufficient panache. Many answers have been suggested. One wag (specifically jimm) has given an answer I think deserves propagation: “The first Gulf War was ‘Gulf War A.’ This one will therefore be known as: GWB”
Pass it on.
