I will bet you a virtual cyber-beer that the phase of the moon will have no bearing on the date of the attack commencement. It was a factor in pre-stealth days against much more formidable foes, not an issue in this theatre.

I don't think it matters for the airwar, but it may still be a factor for the groundpounders. American Infantry OWNS the night, the darker, the better. Full Moon is February 16th, the New Moon falls on March 3rd, the day I start my NEW JOB! Hallelujah!

The New Moon may or may not be a concern...but what is...the pilgrimage to Mecca. There will be a ton of international flights coming out of various cities in Saudi Arabia when the Haj ends.

That is a legitimate military concern.

I dont see us doing anything until after those flights have departed and left the TO.
