It seems like an attack on North Korea could come in the next year or so.

Place your bet as to when the attack will begin.

Whoever gets closest to the date and time wins.

Attack time must be specified in Month, Day, and Year

For specifying any hour, don't forget to specify what time zone you are referring to.

There is no decision on a prize to be awarded yet except for bragging rights.

(with thanks to Freeper Momaw Nadon).

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

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!

I forgot to add my time when we will attack North Korea. The time is never for reasons cited above.

We know where their launchers are, and they'd be first hit. Plus which, we put an Aegis ABM ship off the NK coast to catch any missiles that they do manage to launch. Then we hit the nuke plants and associated processing facilities. Then we hit Kim Jong Il, and make sure the North Koreans know about it.

And to top it off, we send several hundred sorties by B-52s along the front line, to chew up any NK troops who refuse the order to surrender.

The North Koreans know this is what will happen, and they figure we haven't got the ABM capability in place yet, which is why they're being belligerent now. My guess is, we've got a better system than we've let anybody know about.

....take a short, one second pause and breath before "Korea" and "Betting" ;-) Otherwise, check Momaw's post on Iraq; it's the same syntax!

[KeyWest]

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

[atomic conspiracy]

My guess is part of Seoul and maybe, just maybe a couple of air bases. NK is unlikely to have anything better than a Nagasaki type bomb, 15-20 kilotons.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were basically small towns, albeit very crowded ones, and quite flimsily built. Results there do not accurately predict the effects in larger, more modern and more heavily built areas.
As for the attack itself, it is quite likely that NK's human freak show of a dictator, Kim Jong Il, will attempt an opportunistic attack as soon as the balloon goes up in Iraq. My guess: 1200 GMT, January 26, 2003

[AmericanInTokyo]

thank you. any others?

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.

kamsahamnidda. (thanks)

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.

not that I have a DOD plan, but just call it a hunch.....

[AmericanInTokyo]

If I am not mistaken, the so-called great leader's (Kim il Sung?) birthday is in April. At any rate, he is iced under glass case. One hopes they they would neutron that place, too.

[per loin]

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

[AmericanInTokyo]

in the pool?
