Seen on a bumper sticker earlier today: "Iraq" is Arabic for "Vietnam"

My all-time favorite slogan is "Republicans for Voldemort".

Pretty good list, though some are retreads (#7, #23, #24). My own faves would be: #9 and #15. #11, #18, and #22 also have good 'tude.

Jail to the Chief

Isn't that "Jail to the Thief"?

Of course lots more bumper stickers are online, e. g. at http://www.whitehouse.org (...not .com).

"[white on black]
[big upside-down W]
THE MORON"

"I support the troops
MORE THAN YOU DO"

"I support cheap automotive fads"

"[...] World War W"

"MiloÅ¡eviÄ, Suharto, Bush:
Pioneers in electoral innovation"

Best I've heard: "The Rapture is NOT an Exit Strategy!"

But then there is: "Dick Dick Cheney before Dick Cheney Dicks YOU!"

Cheers!

Haha, #22 is the absolute best. 13 is okay.

This has been in my head for a month, since I saw Melanie Morgan, a local, San Francisco talk radio host/mouthpiece on PBS' News Hour. Her opening bit of psychomarketing was, paraphrased, "You go to Iraq and tell our troops they're failing."

Support Our Troops -- Fire the President

Yeah, someone else needs to be fired first. But I couldn't come up with a way to get it all on one bumper sticker. On the other hand, it's a good psychomarketing example. If this is in the public's consciousness, every time someone says "Support our troops" their audience will automatically fill in the second half of the slogan.

I forgot one of the best ones:

CHIMPEACH!

(I'm for impeaching Richard the Lying-Hearted first, though.)

No, Seriously, Why Did We Invade?

I hear that originally they wanted to name Operation Iraqi Freedom "Operation Iraqi Liberation" (which would be a more obvious choice grammatically). Then they changed the name because it was just too obvious.

Asked why a nuclear power such as North Korea was being treated differently from Iraq, where hardly any weapons of mass destruction had been found, the deputy defence minister said: "Let's look at it simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil."

-- The Guardian of June 4th, 2003, quoting Wolfowitz ("the deputy defence minister").
