First week of February, or first week of March. We'll want as little moonlight/starlight as possible, to maximize the advantage of US night vision and thermal viewing equipment. There are also considerations relating to tides in the region affecting offloading of shipborne supply movements.

I'll say 05 February, at around 0430 Baghdad time.

Those expecting a longer-term campaign, perhaps preceded by a lengthy softening up of Iraqi defences via air attack may witsh to note that Saddam Hussein's 66th birthday will be on 28 April.

He is said to be fond of surprises on that day....
