Well this is my third guess.

1st May 2003 18:00EST

Hopefully the war would have been fought and won by then.

It was a Wednesday night when my family was on the way home from church when Bush Sr. declared war on Iraq. I wouldn't be suprised if it is this Sunday night when my famuly is on the way home from church that Bush Jr. declares ware on Iraq.

(BAGHDAD TIME)
Six months, a full half year after the President challenged the U.N. to be relevant, he will be able to say,
"Half a year is more than enough time for the U.N. to prove whether it is able to enforce 17 or 18 resolutions. Now the U.S.A., with a coalition of friends, in our national interest and in the interest of world peace, will enforce the will of the world by disarming Saddam Hussein."

I don't think the war is going to happen. I just don't. (but I've freed up some funds for a quick purchase of these guys (RTN= Raytheon) just in case) :)

It's not going to happen. Appeasement is right in front of us. Hopefully I will be surprised by an attack, but I think President Bush has blinked too many times. The religion of peace marches on and our laws protect it. Islam is the enemy!!!

[oregon conservative]

Your kidding right??

I agree with you. In the Gulf War I President Bush drew a line in the sand with a concrete date. Be out by this date or else. We've had a bunch of tough talk from this administration, but no real line in the sand. This administration is blinking more than a first time contact lense wearer.

1:14 PM March 1st Central Time.

Exactly an hour and a half from now! I have a bet with my wife it will be before midnight Sunday for sure.

If we have not gone to war by March 5th, I'll be PISSED!

Well, let's see.

We (US AAF and RAF) dropped 1.2mm tons of ordinance in Europe with an average accuracy of 7% within 1,000 feet. That's 84,000 tons on target. I don't know the number for the Pacific, but let's assume its the same. Permit me to exclude Hiroshima and Nagasaki from the calculation, although that probably won't change the result by much. The result would be 168 000 tons on target in WW II.

We dropped 88 000 tons in total during Gulf I, with accuracy of about 60% plus from non-JDAM. Only 20% was JDAM there, vs. nearly 100% now. Gulf I dropped more ordinance on target in a few days than we dropped in Vietnam in eight years.

I'll wait to see the result, but I think it's entirely possible. 100,000 JDAM 2,000 pound bombs get us there, even without including too many Daisies.

Everything seems to be in place including a moonless night.

[kjam22]

Freepers have been predicting a new moon invasion of Iraq every month since October.

I'd bet you $50 bucks it doesn't happen this new moon.

The B2's were deployed Tuesday. They don't need to be sent out until the last minute. We will bomb around the clock tonight. We will bomb, bomb, bomb, until they see the light.
We're gonna bomb,bomb, bomb Saddam and do it right.
