I have finally found out what to call the American-Iraq Conflict

During Speedy Gonzalez's NSA questioning, (that involved a lot of question dodging and boiling it down to either we thought "we were doing it right" or "if we had done it the other way you might have squealed on our program") a Republican senator had implied that we declared war on Iraq. Gonzales was quick to rebut at the end of this senator's question that we had not declared war on Iraq. We had just given an authorization to use force on them.

OK. From now on it's called the "Authorization of force against Iraq" or the "Authorized use of force on Iraq". Let's get away from this whole "WAR" thing because I'm tired of hearing the chickenhawks say "in time of war", in "war of this widespread yada yada fuck you America such and such".

"Authorized use of force against Iraq" - you heard it here first.
