The Command Post - Iraq - A Pair of Treys

May 28, 2003

A Pair of Treys

In a tersely-worded statement, CENTCOM has reported that:

MACDILL AFB, FL – Sayf al-Din al-Mashhadani (#46), Ba’ath Party Regional Chairman for al-Muthanna and Sad Abd al-Majid al-Faysal (#55), Ba’ath Party Regional Chairman for Salah al-Din were captured by Coalition Forces on Saturday.

The 3 of Clubs and 3 of Spades, which makes 27 out of the top 55 captured so far. Nearly half way.

Some readers might be interested to know that, with these two captures, clubs and spades have now tied hearts as the most captured suit (seven each). The best poker hand of the moment is a straight flush from the three of hearts to the seven of hearts. The poker hands are all here.
