How come so many of the photos are missing from the deck? i mean were talking of the 52 most important guys of the enemy and the CIA does not even have a picture of them? I am beginning to think Bush may have invaded the wrong country by mistake. That would explain a lot of things. ---

You can see the deck here: [http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Apr2003/pipc10042003.html](http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Apr2003/pipc10042003.html) I can’t believe the pictures are mostly of such low quality and many missing. i am sure you could get better photos from the Internet or, at least, from the Iraqi press. It really makes you wonder who’s in charge. ---

Apparently our friend, the Iraqi Minister of Information, is missing from the pack. ---

I scrambled around yesterday trying to contact playing card companies but everyone else was WAAAAY ahead of me. Just like those guys who put up the ilovetheiraqiforeignminister site. At any rate, it ain’t good to profit over the less fortunate (well, in this case I guess “less fortunate”=dead.) I’m going to buy a pack anyway.😃 ---

I suppose you could have the Iraqi Information Minister and Ari Fleischer as the pawns, which would give you some room for the power pieces. \*\* How come the Iraqi rulers have to be black? Ivory yellow seems more suitable. ---

OK, just how many of these are there? Everyone’s talking about the 55 most wanted, but a deck of cards has only 54 cards (counting jokers), and **sailor** ’s link only shows 52 people, and text on the (two) jokers. So are there people on the jokers, too? And what’s the 55th card? ---
