Analogy - An explicit comparison between two things which could be metaphor or simile - helping to train and equip host nation forces in the midst of an insurgency is akin to building an advanced aircraft while it is in flight, while it is being designed, and while it is being shot at. There is nothing easy about it. General David Petraeus -- ISAF Confirmation Hearing Statement, 2010
