FYI - Ole Dictator still in the Deck

[peteram]

What about that Wacky Iraqi, the Minister of (dis)Information? We ought to give him an honorary position, then bring him back to do stand-up comedy.

[CathyRyan]

How about making him the Joker?

Updated Deck of Cards...Down to 14.

Daschle: "I am saddened, deeply deeply saddened."

[BagCamAddict]

I'd be curious to see how we're doing on the list of the top 200. I wonder how many of the not-in-the-deck group we have captured or killed.

[BlessedBeGod]

How about making him the Joker?

That's a terrific idea!

[BagCamAddict]

It's also EXTREMELY interesting that so few of the top 55 have been killed -- only the Piglatin Brothers and one or possibly two others.

Alright!

[Libertina]

Great job President Bush & US military!

[Katya]

I was shopping in one of those "Rugged Warehouse" outlets with my kids and noticed that under their glass topped checkout counters, they keep a running tab of all the cards face up, of who has been caught.

[Go Gordon]

Issuing the deck of cards was a masterful way for citizens to measure progress. Bush can update folks in the SOTU address in January. Already he can claim that 36 of the 50, plus others, including Al Quaeda members have been captured or are pushing up Cactus.

[Afronaut]

Operation "Big-Ass Reward" is a Huge success.

[Buffalo Head]

"What about that Wacky Iraqi, the Minister of (dis)Information?"

He is (was?) the joker!

[Ciexyz]

Thanks for posting. I'll have to mark my deck of cards.

[Future Useless Eater]

Do you have a cite for this one?

* No. 21: Rukan Razuki Abd al-Ghafar Sulayman al-Majid al-Tikriti, head of tribal affairs office. Taken into custody 8/9/2003

I can find no recent mention of him in Google News, Fox News,
