October 6th was my first guess. I changed it to save the 6th for the second night to rally pummel then. And, still have a third night to mop 'em up.

"And we'll need at least a few weeks of preperatory bombing..."

"Preparatory" is spelled with two As and one E, you nitwit.

I really like that "September Shocker!"

Hey Fabozz. Smart and plausible thinking. I hope the president and co. are as clever. Actually, I believe they are.

BTTT! Good post!

One would hope this could be done in 3 days, but I seriously doubt it.

Saddam will not give up without a fight. His back is to the wall and he knows he is a dead man if he loses. He will lose, but will still put up a last ditch fight. And don't forget, there are probably a lot of fanatical Al Queada (sp) in the country and others who know they will be dealt with harshly when caught.

Then, the "winning" factions will begin duking it out....

In the three days, I was referring only to the air blitz that preceds our ground assault. That’s where black skies are most critical. I agree that will take longer before we witness a scene like this one.

Perhaps a whole month.

Where are we going to park the battleship for the signing? The Shatt al-Arab? ;-)
