Attack on Iraq Betting Pool

Friday, August 30, 2002 | Momaw Nadon

[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.

Bump for more picks before I post the chart again. I will post the updated chart around 6 p.m. EST tonight.

The last chart is at post 501. I will be deleting from the chart dates already past and adding any new picks since post 501.

Come on freepers, vote for bragging rights.

[JulieRNR21]

My bet is Feb. 5, 2003 at 5:15AM EDT

The new moon in February. When is that? Sometime during the first week of February, right?

UN guys are supposed to be out of Iraq when? Jan 20-something. The next new moon after that.

Ok, then... I like mhking's prediction, but I'll go close and say Jan. 31st, 2003 at 7:00pm central.

[snippy_about_it]

The next full moon after January 18th is February 16.

Let me know if you want to change your guess, I am updating the chart now and plan to post it at 6pm EST.

[2Jedismom]

Nope...I like the new moon. It's dark. I chose the day before the new moon on Feb. 1st and I'm stickin' with it!

;-)

[SkunkPunk]

I like Febuary 1st, 2003 @ 4:20 EST

Let's just hope we are the ones who strike first.

Ok, in fact I am changing mine. I originally picked Jan 17 but I think that GW would think he shouldn't do it on the anniversary of the first one, so I will now go with February 4th at 5:00pm EST which would be February 5th 1 a.m. Baghdad time.

Before I post the chart I thought I would post some info.

[snippy_about_it]

New chart is at post 573

We have quite a few freepers who guessed that there would be no attack, those are posted throughout the thread. We have one freeper who gave a date for Husseins removal by his generals-02/07/03--12 noon Baghdad time/patriciaruth

Play safe and good luck. Godspeed and protection to our military.

[snippy_about_it]

Reply to self. Wouldn't you know, I left my own prediction off the chart.

02/04/03--5:00pm EST/02/05/03-1 a.m. Baghdad time/snippy_about_it.

Remember to add it at the next update probably around 1/18/03 if we haven't attacked yet.
