Saddam Hussein's top scientific advisor, one of the men featured on the deck of 55 cards featuring Iraq's most wanted just turned himself in to Marine's guarding the Palestine Hotel along with three other men, one who is also said to be a general...reasons unknown and information limited to what I have posted because FOX did't have audio on their feed earlier and now their reporter on the scene seems to have gone to touch up her make-up or something prior to going down to the lobby...they are just re-rolling the footage of FOX's initial discovery of a crowd in front of the hotel, mostly reporters and camera people, along with the Marines who ushered them away from the press and into the hotel.

Maybe we can get some info on the POW's out of them.

I heard someone say that he is the 7 of Diamonds, but I cannot confirm that.

BTW, Saddam was the Ace of Spades, and his 2 sons were the Aces of Clubs and Hearts IIRC.

I wonder what card was Baghdad Bob? The Joker? ;)

That was exactly what I thought about as well, when I heard about the whole face cards scheme.
However, I beleive that I heard that the Minister of 'Misinformation' was not even on the list of the 55 (or so) most wanted.
Or maybe it was that Aldouri guy who was the Ambassador to the U.N., you know - the fella with the REALLY bad 'comb-over'.

Maybe a new card game Saddam the gathering..

Yes - but there are three jokers in the 'Deck of Iraq' (55 cards)

The two others are Saddam's cousin 'Chemical Ali' and his cousin 'Comical Ali' - official Court Jester to Saddam ;)

P.S. Yes - I'm joking [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Any bets as to who draws the first inside straight, the 3ID, the 101, the 1st Marine EF, I forgot the SoF(all countries Sof included together) ,or the UK? ;)

yes on all four counts. :D probably all 5. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

The 'Card' didn't pay off.

General Amir al-Saadi surrendered himself when the ZDF TV crew (German) told him that he was wanted by the US. He surrendered himself in front of their cameras to ensure that the world knew that he had turned himself in (and that he was in good health).

Oh geez.. it's another damn Card Collection. I am busy enough with BASEBALL Card! :D [img]smile.gif[/img] I can see the cards in stores now.. the game called 'The Axis of Evil" card game. "Collect all 300 cards" and look for special INSERTS--Real Iraqi uniform swatches, steel off the gun, and "sand" papers! :D :D

Oh geez... :D

This guy was a joker. In fact, he was #55 out of 55.
