There is a cartoon in today's USA TODAY. It shows 4 women playing cards. One woman says "These Iraqi playing cards are so confusing... Do you have Saddam?" Another woman answers "Go Fish."

My first thought was that the deck would be full of jokers. The information minister should be on that one anyway.

I just love the military! They way they turn recreation time into a learning experience. (Can you tell I am an Army brat). I gotta get me one of those decks. Too cool!

I'm curious, if some of these folks are picked up (wasn't the 7 of diamonds just recently captured?) are those cards to be removed from the deck? If so, this would greatly enhance a person's chances in a poker game if they kept up with the news.... I want a deck too!!!

I got an email about purchasing the cards. Did anyone else receive this?

I got one, too. As a magician, I'm very interested in acquiring some of these decks. I can think of a number of card effects that would be quite stellar using these cards - such as making the Saddam card disappear, reappear in different places, torn and restored, burned to ashes, and then ultimately reappearing behind bars. It would be pretty cool, don't you think?

I just ordered a set - I think it's a disgusting deal that they are selling them, but my wife is intrigued by them, so for $5.95 plus more than that for shipping, I should be receiving my Mother's Day gift for my wife very soon! She will regret ever telling me she wanted them.

"I got an email about purchasing the cards. Did anyone else receive this?" Who selling them? Someone from Nigeria?

So, how did you order them? I didn't see a link for that.

I didn't send a link - I don't want to be resonsible for anyone getting scammed because maybe I did too. I just clicked on the link I saw in the e-mail I got and it appeared to be the place I saw on the news that was authorized to sell.

Cub Dave - if you purchased the cards from Great USA Flags.com, it appears legit - at least according to this article from a Boston newspaper: Iraqi Playing Cards in great demand and this news bite from ABC - ABC News

Bonnie - that's where I got them. In fact, I had an e-mail from them waiting for me at work this morning telling me there was a small delay and to expect them in 3-10 days (plenty of time for Mother's Day!)

Did you get the cards yet? If not, it's back to the florist for you.
NO - and I am panicked. They charged my CC Tuesday, so I am hoping they will show up here by Saturday; but actually, that will just be a gag gift - I did get her a real M-Day gift!
