Well is it verbal or is it written? Can't make a catchy name without knowing that really...

WMDeception? Misdirection in Messopatamia Memo?

How bout proof they are fucking liars?

Oval Office Outing

a shame that something as simple as "the truth" would not even merit the attention of big media, but I digress...

They love the 'cut and run' phrase so much, so why not the "Nip and Tuck Reports"?

The Pennsylvania Avenue Deception

Yeah, go with the Protocol thang. It's so, I dunno...neoconish?

White House Whispers

THE MUSHROOM CLOUD SHUFFLE

- propaganda policy memo or simply the propaganda policy
- policy of deception or deception policy
- deception memo

Bush Propaganda Memoranda

Why not call it what it is

"The Bush re-election (re-appointment) strategy"

Seriously. (Because there was such a communication - and I'll talk about it probably tomorrow).

Hm....tease. Can't wait to read it tomorrow.

Oval Office Outing

I like the alliteration. It also sounds vaguely naughty.

Reagan was known as "The Great Orator". Shouldn't Bush be known as "The Great Prevaricator" and his policies be recognized as "The Great Prevarication"?

This is turning out to be a nice collection folks. Thanks!

Some are really good - although it's hard to use them for mainstreaming the meme. I particularly like Sharon's "Situation Normal: All Fibbed Up", SnarkyShark's "proof they are f****** liars", MarkusQ's "The Mendacity Expedient"...

My vote goes for anything with "Propaganda". That is exactly what it was, so that is what it should be called.

How about the President's Propaganda Protocol?

whatever you decide, I think it should tie to Bush, not the White House - it should be his baby, the buck stops with him... not Cheney or Tenet or whomever... BUSH

The PNAC Protocol

War Deception Communique

Iraq Deception Communique

How about:

White House Iraq Protocol or WHIP for short.
Or,
Oval Office Protocol Secret or OOPS for short.
Or,
White House Iraq Memorandum or WHIM for short.

The Stockpile Doctrine

Jim,

WHIP is good :)

Let's us Bush's own wording. The coomunication should be called: Bush Disassembles--That Means Lies-- Communication.

How about "Directive to Deceive"

Guys! get a grip! much tooooo cutsey! This is the public you're addressin', not each other.

Ahem.

Assign reponsibility. Make it sound as tawdry as it is.

Bush's Iraq Scam (BI-SCAM)

Keep it simple and without apoliges to Gobbels:

The Big Lie.

I like 'WHIP' ---

Another vote for 'The Big Lie'.

I agree it should have "Bush" in it, not the White House or any other entity.

Some adjective related to "lie" ought to be in it also.

The noun depends on what the actual type of information it is, so...

The Bush Deception Doctrine

The Bush Distortion Policy

Bush's WMD Fish Story (more folksy, but less biting)

Bush's Alternative Reality Document

The Bush WMD Fiction Policy

The Bush Bullshit Bulletin (MSM might not go for that)

Can't wait to read about it!

W's WMDs

Bush weapons of mass deception

Bush War Lie

The Pennsylvania Ave. Memo

Bush's Weapons Whitewash

I was watching C-span 2 this afternoon. It was about a hearing on the response of FEMA and government to Katrina disaster. They were in 2 groups of 1) plain folks: New Orleans evacuees, 2) educated black Americans New Orleans and Newport News citizen.
What came out at the beginning was that the people were mistreated but the scary part was what they were saying. After the Hurricane was over, they heard a big boom that sound like an explosion before the water rush in. The feeling I was getting out of it, was that the levy was destroyed to save the white neighborhood. It had happen before. They talked about the killing that happens in the week after by the police and military. Today they are loosing everything as they are unable to find housing. They mention that they have heard that there was a plan of getting rid of their poor? Blacks are unable to go back even where their housing where not in the flooded area to find the locks change and their belonging on the street.
The second groups brought expertise on the aftermath of what the first groups mentioned the shooting of innocents, the looting and the forgotten dead. How many people really died in New Orleans? No one knows.
One talked that one engineer he knows had mentioned that could not think about any reason that could have brought the levy down when they had survived the hurricane. Not one! That person said that if they were allowed to be able to the levy they would pay the cost to check if there was a crater inside that proved it was a man made disaster.
The all hearing left more question unanswerable. Does anyone have heard anything like this?

I would put fort the “ # Pennsylvania Ave WMD imagination”.

"Iraq Deception Communique", or Bush's Iraq Deception Communique"

I vote for Manyoso's slogan. Crone is absolutely right. If anything, tie the sucker to Bush or preferable around his neck.

Who's screwing who in the zoo?

I'll second Jim's WHIP: White House Iraq Protocol. I've wracked my brain and can't beat that.

Nice one.

I'd call it The Mushroom Cloud Memo

It's got it all, alliteration, impact and it is short, the media will love it.

Operation Mayberry

Well, I thought the Drowning Street Memo was good for the Michael Brown emails...

UnCheney my heart and don't set me free.
After all the torture, Iraq will be three!

OK, to name the memo... The Bush League Fables? Niger-here-nor-there? The Italian Job? The Tukhachevsky Memorial Forgery? The Nigerien Stall-i-on? The Iraq Demo Memo? The Nuclear Twinkie defense? Wolfowitz Wet Dream Sheet? What Would Daddy Do? Baghdad Bag Job? Dim Wit Memo?

Alright, I better stop now...

How about "Protocols of the Elders of Neoconism"

I like Jim's WHIP (it's the best candidate so far) but I have to admit I prefer a version of his White House Iraq Memorandum that's a little less of a mouthful. Change it to White House Iraq Memo which is easier to say quickly.

That way, we can say WHIG was born on a WHIM.

Anyway, Eriposte, good luck. One never knows how these things run, but let's see what happens.

The Bush Bomb.

My choice would be:

The WHIG Memo: (White House Information Group formed August, 2002)

"Sept. 6, 2002: In an interview with the New York Times, Andrew Card did not mention the WHIG specifically but hinted at its mission. Card said "From a marketing point of view, you don't introduce new products in August." On September 17, 2002, Matt Miller stated on NPR that the above quote from Andrew Card was in response to the question: ... why the administration waited until after Labor Day to try to sell the American people on military action against Iraq."

The members of the White House Iraq Group were:

* Karl Rove
* Karen Hughes
* Mary Matalin
* Andrew Card
* James R. Wilkinson
* Nicholas E. Calio
* Condoleezza Rice
* Stephen Hadley
* I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby

WH Clear Cut WMD Cover Congressional Cover-up Memo

How about "The American Downing Street Memo"

That way it ties it to the original DSM. twice the story, half the price....

SwitchandBaitGate
Imminent Threat Gate
TraitorGate
or WarGate...much bigger than Watergate

Downing Street Memo may be catchy, but I think it remains meaningless in the mainstream. What was that about? Too complicated for most readers to absorb, I think. Protocol is another estoteric term really. Disinformation Campaign is better, but the word disinformation has at least two, and maybe three too many syllables.

The word "code" (or codebook) would be easier for general consumption and has that 24, Lost, Alias, Sleeper Cell cache that general audiences can can relate to. Not very clever, but a sixth grade word would be more mainstream than anything with more than two syllables.

How about:

Intelligence Doctoring Strategy
Intelligence Dissemination Strategy
Intelligence Presentation Strategy
Pre-war Presentation Planning
Preliminary Contextual Plan

or, in more frank terms...

Intelligence Doctoring Strategy
Neocon Neo-Fascisti Propaganda Plan
Democracy Subversion Planning

I hope it's not Earth shattering, eriposte, the black helicopters may begin hovering near your home.

Lie-gate, Bush's Downfall

Doctor Knowledge Memo/Tapes

The Doctor Truth Memo

How about, Oral Consent Memo

keep it simple and clear:

the IRAQ WAR LIE MEMO/PAPER/TAPE....

I hope there is a tape....ooooohhh please let there be a tape!!!!

K Street Slag

The White Wash Briefing

or, The White Wash Files, or Filegate

I like Jim's WHIM above, i.e., this country went to war on a WHIM.

Or how about: Operation Iraq Lies (OIL)

I like the aforementioned WHIG Memo. Very nice, easy to remember, and ties in the rest of the group.

I got nothin in my fried brain today but came up with

FIB-Protocol. "Fallacy + Iraq + Bush" protocol.

Bush's Iraq's PoLIEcy Protocol=BIPPS memo
Bush's Lying Protocol= "B-LIE Protocol"

Then the old standby's

Bush's Iraq (W)eapons of (M)ass (D)eception.

I like several from above including yours
Oval Office Protocol (OOP-S)memo or the WHitehouse Office memo....WHOP-S memo.

Anyway Best of Luck!

How about SELL OUT?

How about "Lying Points Memo"

or, "Operation Deception."

personally I am a big fan of impeachment

How about "BUSH PPEVARICATION PROTOCOL".

The "WHIG WMD DISSEMBLER DOSSIER"

"Betrayed American InTel"

BAIT

Bush's War Propaganda Policy

Too wordy?

Bush's bogus bag o'goods

the smoking gun meeting. attended by members of the smoking gun club.

better yet

"Bush's Altered InTelligence"

BAIT

America swallowed the BAIT and went to war

Bush Bungled White Wash (BBWW)

Oval Office Ofal.

Ofal: noun, the waste or by-product of a process.

Bush's WMD Psy/Ops

call them " the Real Republican Talking Points"

It will call into question all their so called "talking points" .
We have let the language be corrupted so that talking points are acceptable even if they are lies. Its time to make all republican talking points into lies by pointing out the disparity between the talking points given to the media and the truth.

Call it: What We Have Suspected All Along.

I agree with Sean above:

The Mushroom Cloud Memo. It's the best. It flows, is powerful, catchy, even poetic, and short.

It has punch and brings to mind a visual picture. Thus driving home that this White House was trying to put that picture in our minds deliberaley and cold bloodedly

my father's polite term for bulls--t was

BUSHWAR

I find myself using it quite often

So, Two votes for MUSHROOM CLOUD MEMO

The WHIG Memo is the best because if it become the current phrase it would force the press to talk about WHIG itself. Most Americans don't know that this group of premire Bushites came together for the express purpose of deceiving Americans.

I like Kristen's "Lying Points Memo"

or my "Filtergate"

i dont have a specific sugestion, just a general one:

to fit the spirit of this adminstrations attitude toward (mis)(dis)informing the public about their plans , this phrase should have an orwellian, 1984ish air to it. you know, using "black" to mean "white". or "hot" to mean "cold"

a definiinjg characteristic of the bush administration and the republican radicals is the use of words and phrases to hide their (the administration's intent.

thus we have :

"no child left behind" ( a program that called, among other things, for retention-in-grade of children who could not pass minimum testing standards

"clear skies" act which allowed electric power generators and others to continue to pour particualtes and chemicals into the the air.

so how about it

what's a good upside down phrase for gettomg the public to buy the admin's war-in-iraq product?

Another vote for WHIM -- White House Iraq Memo

Here's why:
-- "Memo" easy to build around, as we did with Downing Street Memo (ex: "Did you get the Memo?")

-- parallel construction to the Downing Street Memo; the title points out the source and the document type, with the added bonus of defining the focus

-- We call it "White House Iraq Memo" in all communications, but we on this side of the fence have known it all along as a WHIM (heh)

-- Keeps it simple; the wingers will use the same label since there is no obvious bias in the label, will reinforce its use (and we'll be laughing at the irony of their talking about the WHIM)

Yeah. I like it! (says the person who first used "Did you get the memo?" on the Downing Street Memo)

How 'bout:

Weapons of Mass Deception or WMD's

The (Bush / White House) Plan to Deceive.
.

Ok... RMD - "Rhetoric of Mass Deception"

The Intelligence Deception Directive
The White House Deception Directive

I really like the last two words together. It's alliterative and the words deception and directive both convey the intent.

The Lie House

...and those lies aren't little white ones.

Prevaricator in Chief

The WHIG scam

What about these names?

WHD = White House Deceit or Deception
(sounds a bit like WMD...)

OOD = Oval Office Deceit

WHL = White House Lies

I like Deception Directive.

WMD White Lie

Bush's Missing 18 Minutes

Downing Street memo was quite catchy so how 'bout the Downing Bush memo or PTI memo (prelude to impeachment).

Who cares what it's named! I just want them to hurry up and get it out there before I piss myself!

How about 'The buttcrack Chronicles'.

President's Daily Bull****

'K' Street Memo

The smirking mushroom cloud.

SNABU (situation normal, all bushed up)...

There's no bush doo-doo, like deep doo-doo...

Bush's b-j: put on your blue dress cheney and do your hysterial j. edgar imitiation...

Quagwalk or cakemire, you decide...

The WHIG Memo

The War Lie Memo.

I like Oval Office Protocol but add Standard to the end and we have OOPS

Reagan was known as "The Great Orator". Shouldn't Bush be known as "The Great Prevaricator" and his policies be recognized as "The Great Prevarication"?

The Great Fellator?

WMD Deception Directive

I'm sure more damning documents will be leaking out by '06, so we have to be specific.

Remember that scene in Clear and Present Danger where the bad American guy pulls a letter out of his safe. It is his get-out-of-jail-free card signed by the President and he says "You don't have one of these, do you Jack?"

Someone, I would say many people, have a letter like that where the POTUS authorizes torture. Cough it up, Tenet. You know you want to. No telling what Powell is sitting on. If Wilkerson is right he is just waiting for Bush to leave office to drop the bomb (good solider that he his and all).

Anything with "Treason", "Traitor", "Impeachment" and/or "War Crimes" in it.

Another vote for 'The Big Lie'.

Posted by Barry in Portland at December 6, 2005 09:13 PM

Too many big lies. The Iraq Lie. The 9/11 Lie. The Bin Laudin Lie....

The disinformation document = the disdoc. Snappy and memorable(and accurate).

K Street Memo - since the defense industry lobbyists office there.

Clinton Era Repair Kit - since everything going wrong with the country now is somehow Clinton's fault in the mind's eye of the wrong wing.

Insubstantia - Nice and 1984'ish. Possibly redundant considering who now occupies the White House.

New York Ave Memo - Where the streetwalking whores congregate in NE D.C. when not on Capitol Hill casting votes.

16th Avenue Freezeout - Since the White House is on 16th Street and we've all been frozen out of from the truth. (ty Boss)

MUSHROOM CLOUD SHROUD Rhymes so T-REX RIDERS can remember it. Religious element(shroud of Turen) Intellectual element (shroud of secrecy).

THE MUSHROOM MEMO. Short and sweet, yet powerful. Madison Av. here I come!

How about WHIP! I thought this was settled!

President's Oval Office Propaganda

POOP for short....

Shit,

Carol, you got that right!

Personally, I would call it the Oval Office Information Protocol.

The Final Solution

The Shame On You Fools Memo
