When war against Iraq will begin?

In my opinion as I see things happening by early march the military action will begin.

I have to stick with my prediction from 6 weeks ago..The first week of March. With the announcement today of the following:

101st Airborne getting orders
deployment prep for 2 more carriers
Turkeys agreement to allow US troops

It will take 2-3 weeks to have those in place for action. Early March seems like the best timeline.

Yea Chad watch the moment the inspectors go out of Iraq then you know that military action will begin.

Sooner than expected it looks like. I only caught the tail end of Pres. Bush's speech today, but I believe it is time.

Seeing as I was over there for the last episode...I'd say mid March...give em a month to get things in order...more troops called up and prepped.

March 15 I'll go with.

There are 150,000 troops right now in the theater of operations but 100,000 more will be needed for nation building or in other words stay in Iraq for a long period of time to preserve the peace and install a new goverment there but it will cost many billons of $$$$$$$.

March 7, or as close to that date; lunar phases show ideal attack (blackout night conditions) optimum for operations at about that time, and still within the "comfort' window for NBC suit uses.

Q: If you were in Iraq, which would you prefer...a box of "Allahu Akbars" or MREs? :wink:

Actually now that you mentioned weather being a factor....they did the same thing when we were over there in 1991. They waited for optimum times of absolute darkness...thats why I'm still leaning on the later days in that period. Actually the new moon is on the 2nd of March...so I might just back up my time to that point now that I dwell on it.

March 2 is now my guess.

I didn't know that the new moon is going to be on march 2nd so that fits in my timeframe of early march and also by then 250,000 troops will be in the theater of operations.

Yep...different conditions exsist over in the desert and for a place like that...you can actually see miles at night when the moon is full and the skies are clear. There have been many a way that were put off or based on astronomical features and weather. Who knows...but it would be a safe bet that they attack at night and under no moon.
