What cutesy name will the neo-cons use to describe the invasion of 'arch-foe' Iran?

Let's have a DU name contest. Hey, we can petition the Pentagon to name it for the winner!!! Prizes and crackerjacks for all entrants!!

My nomination:

"Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran"

[htuttle]

1. Operation Barbarossa

Just for old times sake.

[chemp]

2. Iran-amok!

I'm in.

[RPM]

82. Iran-outta money

because afterall, you go to war with the army you have...

[2Design]

3. shining star ...n/t

[MaggieSwanson]

39. Oh, that one hits it right on.

Wanna build a pipeline between Afghanistan and Iraq?

[MsTryska]

85. i thought the pipeline was gonna be

from afghanistan to syria?

[radfringe]

120. there is a pipeline from Iraq to Syria

parts are missing though -- need to connect from Afghanistan through IraN into IraQ

from there you connect to the line going into Syria -- then further construct it through Israel out to the Mediterranean Sea -- this will supposedly cut shipping costs by avoiding the Arabian sea and sailing around Africa

Old name -- new name
Afghanistan -- EXXONistan
