From Command post..

command-post.org
Fox TV is reporting that Saddams half brother, Tikriti, has been captured in Mosul as he was making plans to escape to Syria. No links seen up yet.

With respect to your other point...

I dont think my Iraqi counterpart would appreciate this reductio ad poker hand

Well, if my opposite number in Syria puts my photo on a pack of cards, yes they are welcome to make all the jokes at my expense while they hunt me down. I will laugh with them.

My only request is that they don't shoot me and I'm treated as a normal prisoner if captured :-)

I understand your point though.

Bush and his advisors are threatening Syria now. It's like watching a new gambler playing Blackjack, or betting on the horses, for the first time. He has some luck, picking up some winnings, and starts to think he is invincible. You try and advise him to get out while ahead, but they rarely listen. Practically never.
