zuko..
You forgot the rest of your metaphor..Ahab was obsessed to chasing down Moby..(Bush out to smash his brand of evil ..re Iraq..now maybe Iran is bobbing in the waves)..But what you forgot to mention is that Ahab's ship, the Pequod was a whaling ship..a ship made to pursue whales and kill them for OIL. Whaling ships were OIL gathering ships. Ahab lost sight of his purpose..to kill whales and make OIL, but Bush, our snake oil salesman in chief..tried to make us believe that he wasn't after OIL..that his Moby was Saddam and that Saddam was the Moby who orchestrated the event of 9/11 in NYC.
OIL zuko. Ahab put oil on the back burner when he went after Moby. Bush NEVER put OIL on the back burner when he and his cronies began to destroy Iraq and try to control the Middle East through chaos..And it's still OIL, nothing more, nothing less that drives the Bushies.
To equate Bush with Ahab is to go along with Bush propaganda..that he only wanted to kill devils..first Saddam, now the terrorists..But we know that he let his OIL family/brother off his harpoon..You know the rest and we have seen and are seeing the aftermath but cannot comprehend, from here in the USA the deaths Bush triggered off by the hundreds of thousands in Iraq..and they ain't Moby.
