  • Taking Bets on Iraq Invasion Dates

    So with Rumsfeld sending another 35,000 troops over to the Gulf today anyone want to take bets on what date we invade?

    I say Feburary 21, just a guess.

      There should be no invasion.

        I am not against an invasion if it has to be done.

        However, I don't regard it as something that should be the subject of a bet as if it were some sporting event.

        Don't forget, it won't just be Saddam. Thousands of his people, for the most part ordinary and in no position to influence internal events in Iraq, will be killed or injured, as will US and allied military members. Perhaps you would like to send their bereaved relatives cards as well.

        Anyone who has been in a war situation would not be regarding the prospect light heartedly and making silly jokes. Please have more respect for the military personnel who will be putting their lives on the line - for us all.

          Should or will are two different things.

            If it does happen, I wonder if it will be live on CNN again?

            When would be the best time to catch Iraq off guard? When is it a weekend or a holiday over there?

            My date ...never. Or at least not in long while. The world has a very different opinion this time round.

                  For any of you who said they don't want an attack to happen, what would you be saying if Saddam was making threats against your country (as an example) and your pres had info that he is planning an attack, would you still say no go? I doubt it. Give me a break..

                  My brother is heading out to Kuwait in a week, then onto Iraq.

                  Maybe he'll get the hit on Saddam?

                    Many people are already suffering a lot of heartache.

                    They are called the Iraqi citizens.

                    These people eat, sleep, and breathe under the rule of a cruel, malicious dictator. Their lives are at risk every day if they happen to utter the wrong syllable or make the wrong gesture.

                    Money to spend on medicine, food, etc. for the people of Iraq is being funneled into weapons programs, and the military. People are starving for the purposes of building weaponry.

                    Sure, in the short term, people will suffer. But the Iraqi people will be much better off in the long run once Saddam is removed from power.

                      I think its pretty ignorant of you to call Bush an oil man. Thats just a plain ignorant excuse by saying that we will take Iraq for oil. So we invaded other countries for oil too that were a threat to the US? Grenada, Panama, Somalia, Serbia...im sure we took all those for oil too.

                        Oil, oil, oil. I keep hearing that over and over.

                        This table might be interesting to some of you. It shows where the USA gets most of its petroleum. The amount of crude oil we import from Saudi Arabia is roughly the same amount as we import from Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela (surprise, surprise).

                        The USA isn't that dependent on Middle Eastern oil.

                          Wow - the americans are all for, everyone else is not so keen. Interesting split. Saddams been around a long time. Interesting that hes suddenly become a major threat right as Bush is trying to keep the US people amused post 11/9.

                              I dont see how you can lump in Panama with Serbia and Somalia. Panama was a disgrace, I was ashamed of what our elected officials did in Panama [img]shake.gif[/img]
