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.

This war will begin on Gods timetable and President Bush will be the executor of that decision by the "SPIRIT OF GOD" working through him! This war will come like a theif in the night, unexpectantly! And I won't wager on "war", but I'm all for getting Soddam Huessein out of the way! Grassontop
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS WHEN THEY HAVE TO PUT THEIR LIVES IN HARMS WAY!

January 27th, Midnight Baghdad time....

[OReilly]

Announced as Breaking News by CNN January 31, 2003 at 6:40pm EST.

CNN personnel were told yesterday, to pack their bags and get out of Baghdad. I guess Al Jazeeera will be the favored network, this time.

[LadyAustin]

February 1st, 2003, at 2 am Baghdad time.

[kylaka]

My bet is 6:00 PM EST January 17th, 2003.

This is true??

[OReilly]

This is true??...Re CNN told to leave Baghdad

This is true, Blitzer was interviewing CNN's Baghdad Araft (sp) and asked if it was true. She said sadly, it is true and it is openly an editorially driven decision. CNN is not even-handed enough now. Al Jazeeer's stock should be up or going up Monday morning.

[txhurl]

Wow. Your discovery merits its own thread, Sir.

So I'm to believe Christianne Amanpour will be MIA in the initial pi$$off/air attack. Wow.

[txhurl]

Sorry. Just a little dreaming.

[mitchbert]

I noticed an article in one of the Toronto dailies today about Al Jazeera starting an English language service very soon. We should keep our eyes open for this. Will undoudtebly be biased but revealing just the same.

Cheers, eh!

January 15th, 2003 - 1AM local Baghdad time. Enough time to do most of the work prior to the Jan. 28 State of the Union message, but PRIOR to the UN meetings and weapon inspectors' report.

[Rebelbase]

"There will be no attack on Iraq by the U.S. "

In that case, we'll be in good shape for Korea!

[dennisw]

1-30-2003 5PM EST We'll start rocking the casbah. This ain't no disco this ain't no party.

February 14, 2003 mid-morning.

Anybody remember the St Valentines Day Masacre?

[Happy2BMe]

"So I'm to believe Christianne Amanpour will be MIA in the initial pi$$off/air attack. Wow."

I was hoping for Wolf Blitzer.

[Cate]

1/27/03 2330 Bagdad time /Cate

[patriciaruth]

In that case, we'll be in good shape for Korea!

And for fun, I propose we tell the new President of South Korea, "Looks like you and your supporters have got this well in hand. We're outta here. Call us if you change your mind."
