Personally, I find analogies between drawing a good poker hand and killing our enemies in bad taste. There's something wrong about saying "yay, we just killed some more people -- now we have a full house!" But plenty of commentators are saying just that. Debra Pickett is a recent example:

I guess I was kind of squeamish about the whole "Wanted: Dead or Alive" aspect of the idea because the lines between assassination and preemptive "decapitation" strikes seemed so blurry.

But lately, I've started feeling like maybe I should embrace the idea. I decided to learn to play poker.

She even manages to mention the World Poker Tour and James McManus one paragraph after talking about preemptive decapitation. Link
