That battle would leave Qusay and Uday Hussein, the Aces of Clubs and Hearts respectively, dead. On December 13, 2003, Operation Red Dawn would be prove to be successful and, after a long search that spanned the country, our troops would pull Saddam out of a spider hole meticulously dug under a farmhouse near Tikrit.

The first thing our nation wanted to know was whether Saddam had nuclear weapons and the second thing we wanted to know was why couldn't we find them. The FBI needed to find someone who had a chance of getting answers out of the former Iraqi leader.

Since the odds of getting Saddam to speak were relatively low, the FBI knew they had to find someone with an Arabic background who could also speak the language. The best fit to do the job and decipher where the missing weapons were was a young special agent originally born in Beirut by the name of George Piro.
