Oh, One Last One That Caught My Eye

An NYT article that compares battlefield Iraq with City Slickers or Blazing Saddles LOL -



'Lt. Gen. David H. Petraeus, the head of training and equipping Iraqi security forces, has a more colorful analogy. Succeeding in Iraq, he says, is like a cattle drive from Texas to Wyoming in the Old West: the cattle are the myriad tasks that need to be done in Iraq, and American and Iraqi trail bosses are battling insurgent rustlers, treacherous conditions and daunting logistical problems to keep the herd moving. "I don't think it's too late to succeed, but it's not going to be easy," he said. "The bottom line is, you just have to keep it going." '



Hmm, where's the eating beans scene then LOL
