Attack on Iraq Betting Pool

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.

Sept 11, 12:01 AM

Time zone?

New York (Eastern) time zone of course...

[Bombard]

The war and the attack has been going on for months already.
ON TO BAGHDAD!!!!! DEATH TO SADDAM!!!!!!!

I hope it is not Sept. My best buds wife will be in Iraq and will be in deep doo doo if the attack starts while she is there. Visiting family who are not expected to live much longer. As she is Chaldean and an American citizen with a daughter in the Air Force we have tried convincing her not to go. Anyway I picked the last one as when the sixth carrier which was the America arrives on station. Look for the fourth one arriving as the key now.

My bet is never

Keep a careful eye on the BBC world news. Tony Blair has changed his tune in the last few days. At a time when most of Europe and even his Labour party are against the attack.

This signales to me that it is imminent.

There is no reason for him to change his tune, unless he has been told "IT's a GO, so we expect your A$$ on board Tony, so get with the programme".

So I keep with my Original September 7th 20:00hrs Eastern Standard Time. (04:00hrs Baghdad time, New Moon).

March 17, 2003. 0300 Bagdad Zulu.

Is your prediction local Baghdad time or Zulu?
There is an 3 hour difference in time zones. Zulu = GMT also Zulu = UTC.
Baghdad is in the "C" column.
See Map below:

I am going for September 10, 2002 at 7:44pm EST(the exact time I was born 21 years ago) Do I have to pitch up money for this or is it just for kicks?

[WhiteGuy]

possible,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Doubtful,

consider who benefits most.........

[crystalk]

Interestingly, the ancient terms Chaldean and Assyrian are sometimes used in Iraq to describe Christian minorities living there. This makes them sound foreign and dangerous, but it is said that some of them can still speak ancient languages.

Do I have to pitch up money for this or is it just for kicks?

It's just for kicks at the moment.

If you win, make sure to have an extra drink on your 21st birthday.

Good luck!

September 7th, 2002 03:01 a.m. Baghdad Time! The bright light over Baghdad won't be the Sun coming up!

[fiftymegaton]

That would be some present. I'll send a letter to the White House saying 'Dear Pres. Bush Thank you for killing Saddam....it was one of the best presents I could get.'

An interesting and sad sidenote to your comment.

September 10, high noon their time.

[PoorMuttly]

Of course, it will be a meaningless date, early in the morning...just to not be predictable at all.

That's what yours truly would do, anyway.

Why do you think they call it "Muttly?"

Muttly makes an art of playing dirty, because he is very nice, and his enemies are bad.

[Consort]

You want that in Digital Time or Hex Time or Internet Time or Universal Time or Binary Time or Siderial Time or Roman Numeral Time or Metric Time or Martian Time or New Earth Time?

[JohnBovenmyer]

How sweet it would be if Saddam was thrown into the cell with Noreiga

Sweeter with the Clintons.
