Suppose that George Bush Jr, against his dad's advice, was to decide, like a true Texan, to settle the whole thing over a game of poker, heads up with Saddam Hussein.

The two sides (as Bush didn't realize when coming up with the challenge) would start with an equal bankroll and play dealer's choice, no-limit poker.

No, we know what happens when one player, George, has a lead in poker chips of, ohh, something like 1,000 to 1 -- we are seeing it on our TV screens right now. But what would you say would happen, and why, if the two adversaries clashed at the poker table with equal stakes ?

I think Saddam would slip in a marked deck then swear he did not have the marked cards. Immediately Bush would shoot him between the eyes then ask, "who wants to play next?"
