What's the the media's pronunciation of Iraq?

A Rock.

"E" Rack.

Eye-Rack.

A rack.

LOL, I just say iraq. Sounds like "A rack". Just curious where all the different pronunciations came from. :p The "A Rock" one really gets to me, though... That seems to be the CNN pronunciation. MSNBC is closer to Eye-Rack.

I heard it said we are supposed to say E rack, but really does it matter?

Psyops, give them different names and the chances are they become human faces less often so nobody complains too much when something bad happens to 'them'.
How well would 'cannon fodder' sound as a headline every night?
