Taha Ramadan Captured in Mosul~~~On the 55 most wanted list!

BTTT
Bumping this to check additional info later.

Remember when Hillary was passing out copies of the Koran to friends?

Were there photos of this event?

More bad news for the Democrats. I can just picture Nikita Dean, Hillary and Jean F. Cheri's reaction this morning - why does President Bush lead such a charmed existence?? GRRRRR....

Deeply saddened...

"..living big in Martha's Vineyard"

Just for the record - one does not live in Marthas Vineyard or Nantucket - you live ON one of the islands. Only a mainlander would ever say live in.

What happens after all the 55 characters from the deck of cards are eliminated - do we declare victory & everthing is hunky doory?

There's a list of 250 "persons of interest," not to mention a lot of WMD yet to be accounted for. And much work to be done in the area of reconstruction.

They got Peter Sellers?

tata to Taha

(snicker)

"Removing the Ten of Diamonds from my pack"

How many cards are left now? I'm guessing something like a dozen? Please advise (I only have "The Deck of Weasels" from NewsMax).

GREAT NEWS BUMP!

Never mind - card count posted here - Ramadan was #20 and there are 15 left "at large".

The Turks had better pray that we never find a paper trail of money from the $oddmites and his thugs to create this sanctuary.

Even if the 4th ID had blasted through, those in the afterwaves might have caught these thugs. Or maybe the thugs wouldn't have gone North if the 4ID had crushed the friends of $oddomite.

This sheds new light on the actions of the Turks.

A bonus would be catching bin Laden as well

Kind of hard to "catch" ooze in
the cracks at the bottom of a bombed out cave.
