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.

November 7, 2003 at 11:59PM Bagdad Time, Wolf Blitzer will be reporting from the top of the Bagdad that the "fireworks have begun"...

On November 8, 2003 at exactly 12:00AM Bagdad Time, Wolf Blitzer will be excusing himself mid-broadcast to change his BVDs.

I'll take September 30, 2002 at 12 noon EST. That way the administration can infight as long as they possibly can, without Bush being blamed for a Clintonesque "October Surprise".

It will be at a minimum of at least four months from now. There are not enough troops positioned, nor have there been reports of substantial deployments recently.

My vote, January, 2002

I certainly don't see how it could possibly occur before Thanksgiving, and every day that passes without a massive troop deployment pushes the date back.

I still don't rule out the possibility of a coup, which could occur at any time. That would be sweet.

Did you have a specific hour and minute in mind?

Please also include the time zone of your prediction.

Bet you mean January 2003, not 2002...

My guess - Wednesday, 11 September, 2002 at 9:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time.

I'll take January 26 (Super Bowl Sunday), 2003, at 3:33 pm Pacific Standard Time. That will make it 2:32 a.m. on January 27th in Baghdad time.

Can't you see the newscasters talking about it? "... And while the Raiders and the 49ers battle it out on the football field, sources tell Fox News that U.S. ground troops have been flown into Iraq and are dominating towns near and around Baghdad and other key Iraqi cities. We are awaiting comment from the White House. Stay with Fox News for continued coverage on the War on Terror. I'm Laurie Dhue, and those are your headlines. Stay tuned for Fox Report with Shepard Smith."

* Disclaimer: Please don't reply to this post about the newscaster's comments. I don't necessarily believe that the Raiders will be featured in this year's Super Bowl, nor am I necessarily a fan of Laurie Dhue or Shepard Smith. I will admit bias towards Fox News and the Niners.

What is the matter with you people? War is not a “betting” event! For whatever end or purpose, it is the dealing of death and destruction!

And just when I thought I'd seen it all, in terms of moral obtuseness, at FreeRepublic. Many ways exist to relieve the pressure of the burdens of high attention and moral outrage. Many jokes about disasters and tragedies come along to do this. Wakes serve this purpose.

This joking is too much.

The above reply 215 is flagged to you, for starting this absurd, macabre thread. What on earth were you thinking? WERE you thinking, period?

Only one posting in 214 (number 70) has questioned its propriety. It may be all "facetious," but this is one unmistakable sign of calling for Empire. I fear for my country.
