Attack on Iraq Betting Pool
Friday, August 30, 2002 | Momaw Nadon

Posted on 08/30/2002 8:14:01 AM PDT by Momaw Nadon

It seems like an attack on Iraq is coming soon.

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, Year, Hour, and Minute

For the 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.

September 10th, 2:30 pm Central. If my calculation is correct, that would put it 12:30 am, September 11th, Baghdad time.

"Attack" needs to be defined, as it may begin with fits and starts.

Good point Plutarch.

I define "attack" to mean when the first massive and overwhelming air attack on Iraq begins.

This will probably be announced by President Bush when he addresses the nation to say that the attack on Iraq has begun.

You're right, in transcribing I copied the hour (7:34 UTC) instead of the date of new moon. Has nothing to do with the Muslim calendar. Desert Storm began 16 January 2339Z, 3:39 local time, 24 hours after the new moon. We own the night.

How do you define 'when the attack begins'?

The first missile? When it hits Baghdad or when it is fired?

When the first bomb dropped or the time the bomber takes off?

If any of the military currently in the region are part of the attack, then the attack has already begun.

I'm assuming that President Bush will announce the official time when he addresses the nation to say that the attack has begun.

Oh, I'll admit it's self proclaimed. I get that from the news reports at the time Tora Bora. My gut feeling is that we got him middle of December.
