"They're riding on the back of a crocodile, knowing they can neither stay where they are nor jump off."
I came across that sentence yesterday in a book of essays about Firefly, a short-lived TV show that is being resurrected as a movie at the end of September. In the context of the essay, it referred to a certain plot twist of the show, but the phrase struck me as the perfect description of the situation our military currently faces in Iraq.
