Ah yes, it's the old "Don't worry, I'll promise I'll pull out" line

Thanks to the, ahem, Iraq Study Group, we’re all experiencing renewed symptoms of withdrawal. Timetables, phased troop reductions, cut and run...blah, blah, blah. At the suggestion of our Expendable friend Zenprole, I say we get down to the real business of giving this sideshow a proper name. We’ve had American “operations” like Enduring Freedom, Paper Clip, Condor, Restore Hope, Desert Shield, Success, Mongoose, Phoenix, Rat-Killer, etc. What would you name the alleged U.S. withdrawal from Iraq?

Dubya might view it as “Operation Premature Evacuation,” but I think we can do better than that. Post your suggestion in the comments section…
