quade 3 #1 November 6, 2002 A couple of months ago, I had looked through the "FutureCam(tm)" and saw the U.S. attacking Iraq on this exact date, November 6, 2002. I'm happy to announce I was wrong. Anybody else got a better date? Should we start a pool? With the Republican landslide yesterday, this is almost a lock -- it's only a matter of time.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #7 November 6, 2002 I predicted a couple months ago that it would be Aug. or Sept. of 2003 (we'll attack somone). That would be more beneficial for the status quo who want to get reelected in 2004. I stick by it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #10 November 6, 2002 Quote So when are we going to invade Canada? When the bear fat shortage becomes acute. Canada has proved suprisingly successful in our use of it as a container for Canadians. Few have escaped. Let's not tamper with success. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically common culture, but there is the language barrier. Escape? Darn, I had forgotten about the French. Well, if you have that going for you, staying is almost an imperative. I was in Winnipeg last and there was a dearth of French presence there, so I forgot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #15 November 6, 2002 Um, just a small point -- don't think there are ANY (native) pengiuns north of Canada. Penguins are native to the southern hemisphere -- generally speaking closer to Antarctica but some do live quite a bit farther north, but none anywhere near the north pole. http://www.antarcticconnection.com/antarctic/wildlife/index.shtmlquade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still too early - don't forget Ramadan. Look to Jan/Feb if it's a go. As there is a planting season and a harvest season, in some parts of the world there is a warfare season (historically, anyway). It's a bitch to fight in hot weather, especially when one is cooped up in MOPP-4 or an armored vehicle, so it won't happen in the Spring/Summer.

Deuce 1 #21 November 6, 2002 We don't have to now. Remember when the Ayatollah released the hostages when Reagan was elected? UN approval isn't relevant now. Convenient, and polite to obtain, but irrelevant. Saddam is going down softly in the next 6 months. Targeted bombing, commando operations, then occupation without a shooting war. The US will set up a military government on the Japan model, and will run the country by proxy for about 10 years. I don't agree with all of that, but that's my view through the the Mr. Peabody Way-Front machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #22 November 6, 2002 QuoteRemember when the Ayatollah released the hostages when Reagan was elected? Actually Deuce buddy, I believe the hostages were released the day Reagan was inaugurated. This was an obvious slap in Carter's face by the Iranians. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually Deuce buddy, I believe the hostages were released the day Reagan was inaugurated. This was an obvious slap in Carter's face by the Iranians. I was vague on purpose cause I couldn't remember specifically when after he got elected. It still makes my point. The Iraquis respect strength. They are afraid now that the new cowboys in Washington are gonna nuke 'em. The situation was unstable before, and it's less stable now, and I think that will break in favor of removing Saddam. Maybe even without a conventional ground war. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
