So Moby Dick it was!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad my analogy makes sense to someone besides me--maybe I should email it to Dubya!lizgwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907508137794025189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34298967.post-3805632134483612652007-03-26T09:26:00.000-06:002007-03-26T09:26:00.000-06:00I'm glad you clarified that the Moby Dick discussi...I'm glad you clarified that the Moby Dick discussion started on my blog, because when you said you were starting to read it, I thought, "Wasn't I just talking to someone recently about whether we'd read <I>Moby Dick</I> and if it was even worth the time?" Yeah, I'm quick. And I have a great memory. Clearly. :-)<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm no political expert or military strategist either, but that analogy makes a lot of sense to me.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128238432671375399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34298967.post-15173999452694438392007-03-26T08:05:00.000-06:002007-03-26T08:05:00.000-06:00noelle, so far Moby doesn't seem too daunting, but...noelle, so far Moby doesn't seem too daunting, but we'll see. ;)<BR/><BR/>dcmm, I agree, there should be some flexibility built in. As far as press coverage, well...the media loves the darker side, don't they? At home and abroad.<BR/><BR/>stinkypaw, ha!<BR/><BR/>gorillabuns, yeah, I'm sure Jaclyn's had some work done, but I think she has good genes, too.

I just can't fathom what would happen if the pull-out is premature, and I have some former students over there... working their butts off literally. I agree a target date is necessary, but flexibility is imperative. <BR/><BR/>The other thing I wish for is that the media would focus on some of the very, very good things that have happened in Iraq since we've been there. My former students who are over there are very dismayed at the lack of press coverage... and they tell me there's much to be proud of. <BR/><BR/>I don't get political in blogs, so I'll shut up now. :-)don't call me MA'AMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439448178708339536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34298967.post-38556354225159209972007-03-23T20:18:00.000-06:002007-03-23T20:18:00.000-06:00That's one of the better analogies I've ever read,...That's one of the better analogies I've ever read, it sums up the debacle in a nice way. I've never had the balls to start Moby Dick, somehow I made it through college as an English major while avoiding most of "the cannon." I did see my friend's theatrical adaptation, however, and it was very awesome.Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567505547323976582noreply@blogger.com
