hængedyndMindst 8.000 døde, og deres kroppe forsvandt i slagmarkens blodige hængedynd, som blev én stor massegrav. At least 8 000 died, their bodies lost in the blood-soaked quagmire of the battlefield, a field which became a mass grave. Hvis vi skal komme ud af krisens hængedynd, er det også nødvendigt af hensyn til både den lokale og den globale økonomiske sundhed at vise, at der er tilstrækkelig kapital i det finansielle system. To emerge from the quagmire of the crisis, it is also necessary, for both localised and global economic health, to show there is sufficient capital in the finance system.

In fact, Bush Senior knew that he would get bogged down in a quagmire, that the fall of Saddam Hussein would lead to ethnic and religious confrontations that could not be managed from outside.

sumpVi kan meget vel stadig befinde os i en juridisk sump, medmindre vi når frem til en ordentlig interinstitutionel aftale. We might still be in a legal quagmire unless we have a proper interinstitutional agreement. Hvis vi ved udvidelsen udvander Europa, drukner vi i vores egen politiske sump. If we allow Europe to be watered down as a result of enlargement, we will drown in our own political quagmire.

That quagmire regularly ‘swallows’ caught-up hikers boots

Those election results are a quagmire for any coalition except one of national union
