In French Deck, Bush Is King of Diamonds
Thu Sep 25, 8:57 PM ET

PARIS - The ace of spades? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld gets the honor in a new French deck of cards. President Bush (news - web sites) is the king of diamonds and Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) the joker. The game takes a jab at the famous deck of cards created for U.S. soldiers hunting down ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) and other leaders from the deposed regime.

"I found it completely indecent to present a manhunt as a game," said Thierry Meyssan, the man behind the French deck. "We thought this card game would allow us to ... explain why we consider the government of George Bush a threat to international security."

Meyssan is the author of a one-time French best seller, "9-11: The Big Lie," claiming that no plane ever crashed into the Pentagon (news - web sites) on Sept. 11, and that the attacks were plotted by a faction within the U.S. military.

Russian Newspaper Plays U.S. at Its Own Card Game
Thu Sep 25,10:39 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian newspaper has trumped the U.S. government with playing cards featuring top American figures -- a parody of decks issued to U.S. troops during the Iraq (news - web sites) war depicting the most-wanted figures in Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s ruling elite.

President Bush (news - web sites) is the jack of hearts in the new pack, which went on sale ahead of a meeting this week between Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin (news - web sites).

In the decks, which are selling out in Moscow, Bush's father, former President George Bush, is the ace of hearts, while Federal Reserve (news - web sites) Chairman Alan Greenspan (news - web sites) is the ace of spades.

That premise in that book is stupid. If a plane didn't crash into the Pentagon what happened to the 66 people that were on board flight 77? Their surviving relatives have been all over the news post-9.11.
