Attack on Iraq Betting Pool
Friday, August 30, 2002 | Momaw Nadon

Posted on 08/30/2002 8:14:01 AM PDT by Momaw Nadon

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.

There is no decision on a prize to be awarded yet except for bragging rights.

Well, I already lost the pool at work so why not try again. (Tenacity is my middle name) I predict March 15th 2:38 am Iraqi time.

I change my bet to no war. It seems like the most likely outcome now.

What do I get if I win this bet?

For all that it's worth, since this prediction is pulled outta my rear, just like all these other predictions, I have a feeling that Iraq will hands-down win this ridiculous sitzkreig that the UN has bumbled into: continuing to buy time by destroying a couple items here and there to stroke the UN, playing the inspectors game while the world feigns ignorance of what Iraq is developing. When the disgraced Blair and Bush governments fall and the next Democrat administration comes into power, Hussein's gonna announce his stock of arms and grab himself some oil fields. Then we'll go to war- Fall of 2005.

My previous vote was invalidated by Turkey's treachery. Time to try again.

It will be 2am Baghdad time immediately after the next vote at the UN Security Council, regardless of which way the vote goes. (Easy side prediction: We lose the vote.)

The date of the vote is much more difficult to determine. My guess is March 14. Hence, my prediction is 2am on March 15, Baghdad time.
