"My guess: after sundown Thursday."
No way that's the start of the Mohammedan sabbath, the PC crowd will never allow it.
That is PRECISELY why they will, but maybe not this week. And screw the PC crowd (crud). You don't think the Japs picked Sunday morning to go after the fleet or Bin Raghead used Tuesday to hit the WTC by accident, do you?
Surprise is a very valuable combat tactic. Hit 'em when and where they least expect it. Greater sucess to casualty ratio.
