| Aces High! U.S. captures "Ace of Diamonds" |
| 2003-06-18 |
| U.S. forces in Iraq have made their highest arrest so far from the list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis. Gen. Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, the Ace of Diamonds in Central Command's deck of cards, was taken into custody, Pentagon officials told Fox News. Al-Tikriti was No. 4 on the most-wanted list, behind only Saddam Hussein and his sons Uday and Qusay. Al-Tikriti was Saddam's personal secretary, national security adviser and senior bodyguard. |

| #3 excellent - they also captured 50 baathist foot soldiers, weapons, money and jewels. Evidently this was either an organizing point for Baathist resistance, on the trail to Saddam and sons, or both. |

| #2 Don't think that the lefties will ever shut up: they'll just find something else to gripe about. Still, it would be nice to force them to scramble to find the next quagmire. This guy WILL talk. No need to harm him at all: just offer to release him . . . . after spreading the word that he did talk and we're setting him up in his own guarded --- lightly --- villa as a reward. |

| #1 Let's hope he leads the US to #1-3 and we find out what happened to the WMD so the Dems/lefties can be shut up |
