How many different ways can you say "cut and run"?

This week the Daily Show focused on their Mess o'potamia coverage, focusing their irony-colored glasses on washington as well. The show highlighted the inconsistency of Rumsfeld's denial of wrongdoing before his resignation with his memo to the president after. The memo included suggestions of withdrawal, but this wouldn't be "cutting and running" it would be something about
riding a bike and pulling up socks.But even better than Rumsfeld's metaphor was Bush's truism, "I think anytime you murder somebody, you're a criminal".

This perceptive foreign policy strategy has been eloquently described by the Daily Show as "go big, go long, and go f**k yourself" meaning send more troops, reoccupy and keep doing what we've been doing. I strongly recommend this clip by correspondant Rob Riggle called Iraq to the future. Rob Riggle's "cut and run" is called "operation mulligan".
