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.

Well I had picked today not realizing that Mr. Blix would be there so I'll change my pic to Tuesday Feb 11. But this is my last pick. Being consistently wrong is ruining my self esteem!

Five days before a full moon? I think you forgot that we own the dark.

This thread remains, after all these months, as OBSCENE as it always was.

Playing a game like betting when the attack comes in a war when a lot of American Military are putting their lives on the line is DISGUSTING
Go down and enlist

...Playing a game.....
I would argue that you don't understand the process.
We visit Free Republic to gain knowledge about events as they occur. The pool is an exercise in evaluating the effectiveness of the process and our own individual ability to process that information and make meaningful projections to future events.
There is no moral delimma here.

I understand the process very well
There are a lot of posters here who want to sit in their living rooms drinking beer and eating pretzels and being entertained by watching news clips of cruise missles etc etc zeroing in on Iraq
Like a big Nitendo game and then jump on Free Republic with some great remark
Enlisting would put them up where they can see first hand
People with relatives in this battle aren't so glib about predicting war dates etc
If saddam is over thrown I think they will feel cheated out of their entertainment

UncBob - it sounds like you might have a relative in the military right now. A lot of us Freepers do also. Motives of those on this thread may vary - but I personally don't think entertainment is one of those motives.
