Aren't these all jokers?

Prepare yourself for this awful joke I just thought of:

*Holding up the Ace of Spades with Saddam's face on it*

It looks like Saddam's got his Poker face on.

If playing poker with these cards, what would you be inclined to cll a royal flush? :roll:

If anybody finds a way to get a deck of these, post them here. I've been looking around a bit, and haven't found anything yet.

You get a medal when you're lost in action
I wanna get your love all ready for the sweet sensation
Instant radiation
You let me hold you for the first explosion"

Diana Ross, "Chain Reaction". :-)

Spooky...

By the way, you can download a high-quality PDF of the cards at http://www.centcom.mil/Operations/Iraqi%20Freedom/playing_cards.pdf.

Also, at eBay this auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2170507719&category=36073) says that only 100 decks were actually distributed by the US government, anybody heard that? I figure before too long we'll be able to pick up copies of these very easily.
