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.

Let's see, Prime Minester Blair arrives in the US on Friday, Jan. 31, 2003. So my guess is, Saturday, Feb.1, 2003, just after sunset, Bagdad time.

"You're all a bunch of sick, genocidal narcissists, having a pool on when a war will start."

I always love the way that liberals introduce themselves. My name is David and I'm a conservative. How do you do?

"You think it's a ballgame."

Ah, the wonders of mind reading.

"You sit in your cushy living rooms,"

Thanks to CAPITALISM! Hooray for CAPITALISM!

"...watching the propaganda,"

You must be talking about the liberal news media (NBCCBSABCCNN).

"...while people are blown to bits and burned alive."

The war has not even started yet. Einstein.

"You must have tortured animals as kids, and are now fans of Limbaugh and G. Gruesome Hideous. KILL, KILL, KILL, for the US of A, only it's not for the USA."

Well, a guys got to have a hobby.

"It's pre-emptive mass murder for the entertainment of the USAAA, the Unanimous State of Amnesia, Abulia, and Apathy."

What in the world is "abulia"? I just tried to look it up in the Oxford English Dictionary, and it is not there. Has anyone here ever heard of the word "abulia". Maybe I should look it up in the Oxford Ebonics Dictionary.

"It's easier to wave the flag than to read the Constitution!"

And it's even easier for you to burn the flag and ignore the Constitution. If you're so concerned about Constitutional law, then where the hell were you during the clinton regime? Where were you during WACO?

"The yahoos who want this war probably couldn't find Iraq on a map three months ago."

I know exactly where Iraq is. Do you know where the Worlds Trade Centers were? Do you know were the Pentagon is? Do you know where Somerset County, Pennslyvania is?

p>Here is the straight poop!!

A web page  with package tours and itineraries is on this hajj web page

Note the dates.  The Hajj event is controlling the war date. Everybody at Hajj must be home before the war begins.

I won't bore you with lots of detail, do a Google search if interested.

Therefore, the war will begin sometime after February 21

I'll say Saturday february 22,2003.

The first stealth/cruise missile attack will begin between The first stealth attack will begin between 2217 to 2317 Bagdad Time, on 3 March 2003

HAJ will be over, and the UN will have exposed itself as totally irrelevant.

All of our forces and our allies will be inplace.

The first stealth/cruise missile attack will begin between 2217 to 2317 Bagdad Time, on 3 March 2003.

I bet 1st attacks will occur on March 1st, 2003. Reasoning has to do with the darkness of the moon phase. As for time - 8PM in Bagdad (11 AM CST - Chicago time).

Four predictions, four misses. I think we're close, though. I'll go with March 2nd, at 12:01 Bagdad time, for my fifth prediction. That will be the start of the air campaign. The ground attack will start less than a week later, perhaps as little as two days in the case of Basra.

Lufthansa has stopped selling tickets to and from Israel for dates after February 10

To: Maedhros

As a pilot for a Fortune 50 US based company I can tell you that many, many bits of info is being transmitted down to the airlines as well as corporate operators who, like us routinely travel overseas.

We routinely fly to points in Europe and the Mideast as well as Asia and the pacific rim, today we received a US NOTAM (Notice To Airmen) and a EURO-CONTROL AIRSPACE ADVISORY advising us that as of Feb 15 they will need seven days to process ALL over flight permits and some customs services will no longer be available to non-scheduled carriers.

That several normal high altitude routes normally available to us for navigation will no longer be available and several RNAV (Random Navigation) routes over the Med will be restricted until further notice. Also they transmitted to us the Kuwait TRF that will be in effect from Feb 15 until further notice.

This TFR closes a rather huge chunk of airspace indefinitely over you know where.

So yes to answer your question, they do.
