Seen from space, the Noose is clearly tightening.

Yeah, but you only see the way it was tightening approximately 8 minutes ago. By the time THAT 8 minutes elapses, the tightening may have accelerated and you've already missed the very last tightening.

I got to tell you, Since the Pkistanis fucked up this latest capture (or just plain lied to us about ever really intending to make a capture) I'm getting pretty starved for a Noose Tightening headline. You don't suppose the military is worrying that the whole Noose metaphor might be loosing credability?

No noose is good noose.

Once they got locked into the whole "the wagons are circling" metaphor, the "noose is tightening" metaphor was the next logically progressive metaphor in the old west, cowboy motif. He IS a Texan, after all. They are clearly out of metaphors until maybe they bust out with the "trapdoor is sprung" or an "at death's door" metaphor at the very last tightening ... or some such.

Maybe it was a slip-knot?
