How did Poindexter come up with the idea for selling futures on future terrorist attacks?

Isn't his boss, George W. Bush an experienced player in the stock market. And it was
George's idea to keep track of Al Qaeda terrorists with playing cards when we were
fighting the Taliban and Osama bin Laden.

I don't recall the details but he used a deck of cards to keep track of the fugitives.
It looks like he has done the same thing in Iraq. When journalists talk about
killing Saddam's sons and Saddam himself they refer to Aces.

Could George have a gambling problem?
