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.

I ran out and bought a brand new Sony for my Gym when the Gulf War started just so I could watch the bombing while I worked out.

Guess I better start shopping for a new one.

I say that we have had Special Forces in Iraq for weeks now.

There will be an significant overt attack on 9-1 1pm edt

[Prodigal Son]

What constitutes attack? No need to answer. I'm sure there'll be a lot of arguing about that when it comes. I'll make my time dependent on the first announcement by a US government official who states a specific time- all other announcements after the fact will not count. So the first person- President, Sec Defense, Chaiman of the Joint Chiefs- who either states an exact time on his own or in response to a reporter's question- that's what I'm aiming to peg.

Dec 4, 2002- 23:36 Iraqi time.

The most major single attack on Iraq since the Gulf War occurred on Aug6 02 , don't know exact time. That was the Hiroshima anniversary. Sept 2 is the 57th anniv of the Japan surrender aboard a ship in Tokyo Bay.

NOT to begin during month of Ramadan which is about Nov 4 thru Dec 3.

Either will have already started before that, or will be postponed till after.

I strongly go with BEFORE, since I think we want to gore the goats of the Muslims as much as possible.

December 7 is NOT a full moon, nor is it a new moon. The new moon of December is Dec. 4; the full is at the 19th mol.

Very close. You say 1 pm on the 1st Sep EDT; I will say 8pm on the 2nd Sep EDT.

No more than 12 hours after USA Today polling shows bush's favorable approval numbers below 50% Eastern Time

You're another example of how the Clinton "administration" phocked it up for everybody following....great legacy of his, eh? You assume everybody is such a scumsucker,huh? Head back to DU

You assume everybody is such a scumsucker,huh?

Negative

I make this assumption only about politicians.

I hope you have a better tomorrow.

Well then you'd better narrow your blinders about politicians......Democraps are "politicians"; not all of their opposition are - some are actually Statesmen.....I sincerely hope you can clear the cobwebs so that you, too, may have a "nice tomorrow". I will. Now, you may "go home".....guten nacht.

[Sungirl]

I'll say....November 16th~midnight.

[Sungirl]

Why would you say that? Bush hasn't done anything because of polls.....why would you think he would be like a scummy, lying, manipulating, low life, gutter dwelling liberal?

[Momaw Nadon]

I'll say....November 16th~midnight.

Midnight in what time zone, Sungirl?

[WhiteGuy]

Well, no bold text this time, we're almost friends.

Democraps are "politicians"; not all of their opposition are - some are actually Statesmen

OK, "Democraps are politicians" I'd agree, some are much worse, almost whores I think.

"not all their opposition are" - technically true. I can think of only one who currently holds national office.

"some are actually statesmen" - hmmmmmmm, take a look at our Constitution, then compare to the "work" our politicians are doing. On this basis alone I disagree.

Thanks for the German "good night" - same to you.
