I'm assuming that we will be starting off with a massive air attack, so I am referring to the starting time of this massive air attack as the official starting time of Gulf War II.
Bush told Daschle no attack before the election. Daschle told Bush that his nominess would get fair consideration. One good turn deserves another.
Either will have already started before that, or will be postponed till after.
I strongly go with BEFORE, since I think we want to gore the goats of the Muslims as much as possible.
