Bush's Crusade
(Or: Aren't the Metaphor's Getting a Little Obvious?)
According to Yahoo News:
US Marines of the 1st Division dressed as gladiators try to control a horse and stage a chariot race reminiscent of the Charlton Heston
movie--complete with confiscated Iraqi horses at their base outside Fallujah, Iraq, Saturday, Nov. 6 , 2004. For U.S. Marines tapped to lead an
expected attack on insurgent-held Fallujah, the bags have been packed, trucks have been loaded and final letters have been sent, leaving one final
task - the "Ben-Hur."
