The new metaphor: The haystack and the 777

[Joel S. Berson]

"Australian military official", quoted (in TV text display) by CNN
tonight (that is, early Tuesday morning EDT):

"We're still trying to find where the haystack is."

"We're not searching for a needle in a haystack, we're still trying
to find where the haystack is."
Aussie vice chief of def staff
