Freedom Muffins?

The United Kingdom's Parliament rejected a proposal to help the United States take military action against Syria, leading the Obama Administration to mandate that English Muffins henceforth be called "Freedom Muffins". (You may remember French Fries being called "Freedom Fries" as revenge for France being buzzkills over the Iraq War. But apparently, after seeing how much great stuff they'd missed out on in Iraq, France is insisting to get to be a part of the Syrian strike force. Either that, or they don't want to suffer the indignity of having French Fries called "Freedom Fries" again.) The Pentagon proposed calling them "French Muffins", since France appears to be willing to aid us in our proposed military strike, but France threatened to drop out of the Syrian conflict if their nation is ascribed even nominal blame for foodstuffs originating from or related in any way whatsoever to England.
