It seems like an attack on Iraq is coming soon.
Place your bet as to when the attack will begin.
Whoever gets closest to the date and time wins.
Attack time must be specified in Month, Day, Year, Hour, and Minute
For the hour, don't forget to specify what time zone you are referring to.

Just a hunch, but I think that we've already completed some forms of stealth operations inside Iraq. I picked a date a few days before Nidal was killed. While I don't think that we did that assassination(though that is possible), I think it may have been done by Hussein as a reaction to something.
Of course that idea is a little out there, and it isn't a dramatic bombing, but I wanted be the first to stake a claim in case something has already happened. We'll eventually find out.
As for major visible attacks, I'll stick with my original prediction of after the election and maybe into Jan. or Feb. However more than once all the talk from around the administration has made me doubt, so something within the next few weeks wouldn't be a shock. But an attack won't happen in October or on Election Night.

Just a hunch, but I think that we've already completed some forms of stealth operations inside Iraq. No doubt about that. First I heard was back in Jan 2002. A small CIA team was in Kurdistan checkin out a couple of old runways, the word is that since then, with help from the Turks and Kurds, we've rebuilt a couple of runways.
SAS and SBS could be in the Scud Zone in the west for some time now, like they were long before the Gulf War began.

What happens if nobody gets it right, are you just gonna pick the nearest estimate?

What happens if nobody gets it right, are you just gonna pick the nearest estimate?Yes.
No Price Is Right rules here.
The official time will probably be announced by President Bush in a TV address to the nation.
To: Momaw Nadon
Are you referring to any kind of attacks (air war), or only to a ground attack?
To: gunshy
Not during the GW Bush presidency. Care to make a bet?

Are you referring to any kind of attacks (air war), or only to a ground attack?I'm assuming that we will be starting off with a massive air attack, so I am referring to the starting time of this massive air attack as the official starting time of Gulf War II.

Place your bet as to when the attack will begin.........
No more than 12 hours after USA Today polling shows
bush's favorable approval numbers below 50%

In that case, I will go with Columbus Day, October 12, 2002 at 10:20 AM EDT.
Bush told Daschle no attack before the election. Daschle told Bush that his nominess would get fair consideration. One good turn deserves another.
