Depending on how the war progresses, Moby Dick may well be the aptest allegory for the present situation. Although it's a bit unflattering to Ahab to compare him to that micranthropic George Bush.
Time, perhaps, for a reread.
Now, who is Ishmael? Who Queequeg? And who the mysterious Persian fellow (don't remember his name)?

Then Captain Bushhab pokes the little red button in that brief case that's always at his side.
You know Powel is Starbuck.

Ever wonder if "Moby Dick" would have become a classic if Melville had used "Bob" instead of "Ishemael"?
Call me Bob?
