Bush's Crusade (Satire)

Satire:
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."
