OK, money where the mouth is. I'll go first.

Before dawn Korean time

I hate to be so negative, but can we take a bet on how many Allied cities get nuked? I say two American and three Japanese cities go up.

Its easy. Iraq does not have any nukes yet so we will threaten to attack it, pressure it with war talk, humiliate its leadership and attack it at will.

North Korea has nukes and WMD and therefore we we will NEVER threaten to attack it, NEVER pressure it with war talk, NEVER humiliate its leadership and WILL NOT attack it at will. We will even allow it to finish deliveries on scud missiles we seize on the high seas to Yemen.

This sends a very clear message heard round the world; If you do not have nukes and WMD the USA will treat you like Yugoslavia and Iraq if you develop nukes and WMD (and the ability to deliver them) in time you will be treated with distance and respect like we treat Pakistan, and North Korea.

That is why I know Iraq does not have online nukes (chemical and bio weapons are 19th century technology so it is very possible the Iraqis can make and use them with little difficulty) at the moment because we are bullying Iraq around at will UNLIKE how we are treating North Korea.

Attack on North Korea Betting Pool

Who attacked the betting pool? Where? When? How many bettors dead? Wounded? On the other hand, that'll learn 'em to engage in illegal gambling activities!

[KeyWest]

Will not happen in 2003 and maybe not in 2004. My guess is a lot of internal working to change leaders.

[copycat]

Place your bet as to when the attack will begin. Whoever gets closest to the date and time wins.

When's the election? Nov. 2004?

My guess is September 15, 2004.

[Tax Government]

I predict North Korean nuclear plants are reduced to rubble July 4, 2003 by a massive bolt of lightning. Or, maybe it will be on the "Great Leader's" birthday, whichever is first. (Crystal ball is cloudy.) I also HOPE this happens.

[per loin]

The time of our attack can be most precisely stated as "long overdue".

[Uncle Miltie]

July 4th, 2029. When Kim dies, the NK military sues for peace. Starving NK refugees flood South across the mined border with 15% casualties.

Until then, we wait. Bill Clinton let this nuclear cat out of the bag, and millions more North Koreans will pay for it by starving to death. We will build a strong box, and they will rot within it.

Damned shame, that.

[bert]

There will be no attack

China and Japan will resolve the problem.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Interesting topic. I'd rather error too early than too late. Let's say May 15, 2003, at 12 am Pyongpyang time.

[Maynerd]

I am usually an upbeat kind a guy, but this NK thang looks grim. I think we will have to take it out prior to the NK recovering plutonium from the reactor rods. I pick 2/12/03.

[thoughtomator]

Never. The Chinese have far more reason to prevent NK from being actively nuclear - it's no secret that country can fall apart at basically any time, and any missile that can reach the US can hit anything in China.

This stuff about NK is a tempest in a teapot. Let's get our troops out of the South and let the local powers handle the fruitcakes. By the time NK can reach us with missiles we will be able to shoot them down. Time to let the heavy hitters over there clean up their own neighborhood. China wants to be taken seriously as a global player? Let's give them the chance to show what they would do about a lunatic with nukes on their border.

[Timesink]

February 5, 2003. Around noon EST. In other words, right around the time we become fully engaged in battle with Iraq. That's when NK will try something stupid, using the "Americans no longer have enough military to fight two wars at once" gambit. And NK will discover they're wrong.

[Husker24]

Were not going to attack North Korea at all.

[Dog Gone]

I think we'll let China know that we'd have no objection to them annexing North Korea after whatever action they feel is necessary. As long as they move in the next year or so.
