Attack on Iraq Betting Pool

Friday, August 30, 2002 | Momaw Nadon

[Grampa Dave]

The next betting pool on Iran should say "Present your best guess re Trehan, Iran time and date.

[snippy_about_it]

We have quite a few freepers who guessed that there would be no attack;

---

...Husseins removal by his generals-02/07/03--12 noon Baghdad time/patriciaruth

---

Not during the GW Bush presidency/gunshy

---

I'm guessing Yemen/Alberta's Child

---

NEVER/willgetsome

---

It's not going to happen! - GMT/varon

---

My bet is never/biffalobull

---

Not gonna happen/Glenn

---

No attack. Saddam will be assassinated by his generals/r9etb

---

Never happens. Saddam will cave and exile/zone32

---

...No Trial. No Circus. No Massacre. No protracted bombing campaign. No slug fest ground war/antaresequity

---

New chart coming soon.

[Grampa Dave]

If someone doesn't splatter Uncle Soddomite's brains all over one of his Arabian Carpets in one of his palaces, we could see all type of Star War's type weapons beside what we used in Afganistan.

This time the job will be easier as we have planes on the ground an on carriers all around and close to Iraq. No need to make a close to 2,000 mile or more round trip to bomb him.

The Murdeing Mullahs of Iran and the Islamofacist thugs in Syria should be taking notes as well as the NK Commies when we start bringing Jihad back home to these Islamofascists bastards in Iraq, Iran and Syria.

[snippy_about_it]

Please oh please, it would have been easier. After the first group I stopped trying so hard to put them in time order. It will be easy to figure when the bombing happens but looking at three months worth is mind boggling.

I was thinking strategic bombing of North Korea next.

[Grampa Dave]

Next is Iran where most of this terrorism of the past two decades has been financed and coordinated.

If you got to see the History Channel's, History Uncovered about the former CIA agent, Robert Baer, there would be no doubt about the role of the Murdering Mullahs of Iran and terrorism against Americans going back to the Days of Jimmy Carter.

The next Guess athon should have the date, the local time and which country will be attacked following a listing protocol. Anyone who fails to list their response as per the sequence, their reply is not considered.

There can be an editorial comment section for those of us who want to comment.

[KineticKitty]

Hmmm, yah know what? With current conditions at Fort Hood, I don't think I should update my guess. Although Jan 20th wouldn't be it anymore.

I feel like I would be cheating if I put my "thoughts" in now, kinda like playing the stock market with insider trading information. (if you know what I mean...)

Thanks Anyway...

[snippy_about_it]

We didn't want you to change it, you forgot the time and time zone.

[KineticKitty]

Ok, Jan 20th, let say at 4:44am in the 4th time zone (Eastern). Although I won't be the winner

Have a great weekend Snippy.

[snippy_about_it]

No problem, plenty of folks have changed their dates. I think this post has been up since August, we had no choice!
