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.

Having seen the troops gathering from around the world on his borders and in the area - my guess is Saddam will try to join other exiled dictators and enjoy his ill-gotten gains - Bush doesn't want war, no one wants war, but our President means what he says--Saddam must disarm and folks he will - by leaving his country.

Most Americans favor giving inspectors more time in Iraq

Jan. 25 — With the United Nations’ weapons inspectors’ first major report due on Monday, Americans are increasingly reluctant to take military action against Iraq, according to a new NEWSWEEK poll. About four out of five polled (81 percent) want the United States to join its major allies and get full U.N. support before possibly attacking Iraq, and a majority approve of giving U.N. weapons inspectors more time to search for banned weapons.

Just days before his Jan. 28 State of the Union address, Bush’s overall approval rating, while still fairly strong at 55 percent, continues to decline........

If we bet once and lost, can we bet again?

If we bet once and lost, can we bet again?

Yes. According to the rules, you may make an additional bet once your current bet expires.

Wednesday, March 26, 2003, 11 p.m. Bagdad time.

Reason? A month ago, I would have picked the first few days of March. But with problems with first the UN and now Turkey (requiring alternate deployment locations), I believe it will delay us until near the end of March. I wish it were sooner, though. Waiting too long gives Saddam more time to play his shell game, gives the left more time to split off our allies, gives more time for the anti-war/Bush protestors to cause trouble, and also contributes to lowered morale of our troops who have to maintain a high state of readiness for the attack, and then see opposition rising at home and around the world.
