2/25 What day do you think we officially begin the attack on Iraq (not
counting the constant low level bombing of radar and SA that's been
going on since 91)? I put 5 bucks on march 16th, Iraqi time.
I don't understand why this was deleted. Restored.
\_ Beware the Ides of March.
\_ Bad choice. Two days before the full moon? A lot depends on what
level of intensity the US wants to start with. Probably a week
or two of airstrikes to be followed up by invasion, airborne to
get the airport with full assault through Turkey and Kuwait. Still
need a couple of weeks to get the troops set in Turkey. Push it
to bombing around March 21 and invasion a week later.
\_ Pave. -John
\_ We already have Special Forces on the ground in Iraq. How does
this not count as officially beginning the attack?
\_ They are spying. They have not actively disrupted Iraqi
operations. Guiding missles and bombs to targets doesn't qualify.
\_ Because by that standard, the 1991 war never ended. If you want
to go by your definition, there's no need for any new
resolutions, congress, the UN or anything.
\_ APRIL NEVER ENDED!
\_ So if Iraq sent infiltrators into the United States to
blow up selected military targets, that would not be
considered warfare by you? Just making sure you are
willing to consistent here.
\_ It is warfare. It isn't a mass invasion. That would be
Mexico, currently. |
