10Bears
Ya know I backed out of a bet with Toad that the United States would go completely insane and attack anyway.. I might’ve won that bet that no, calmer heads would prevail.
Come on, let's do it!
Offered you another shot at the same bet in the thread where you posted this.
Big chance to whoop up on me for $45 here bud! Come and get it! Free money!
BTW, did you see the cruise missle carrying ships and subs have left the CV groups in the Med and are moving down to where they have permission to shoot across Saudi Arabia?
Better hurry and place yer bet! Free money!
:D
Whoop, Whoop!

U.S. Forces Make Final Preparations
Not gonna bet ya on the 1st one.. They going in. Not when I read stories like this..
U.S Forces Make Final Preparations (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A16650-2003Mar12.htmlv)
Army Gen. Tommy R. Franks, chief of the U.S. Central Command, conferred with his team today at an ultramodern U.S. command center in Doha, Qatar, from where he would direct an assault on President Saddam Hussein's forces from land, air and sea. Some U.S. and British troops have moved to assembly areas in the Kuwaiti desert, closer to the Iraqi border. They have been issued ammunition and have said goodbye to hot meals. Contractors hired by the Kuwaiti government, meanwhile, have punched holes in an electrified fence and begun leveling earthen defenses along the border with Iraq to make way for the armored columns that would head north.
To deflect any preemptive missile strike or later counterattack by Iraq, armored vehicles with chemical weapons detectors have been deployed in recent days in the streets of Kuwait City, about 25 miles southeast of here. And the U.N. border troops who guard the demilitarized zone between Kuwait and Iraq have begun evacuating civilian and nonessential military personnel.
The United Nations announced today it is withdrawing all its personnel from observation posts on the Iraqi side of the zone. "All of them from the Iraqi side have been moved out," said Daljeet Bagga, spokesman for the U.N. force. "In case something happens, we do not want to be caught."
They ain’t out there playing tittley winks.

Naw you not paying attention Laz,
Bets on for WMD being found within 3 months of surrender. Mass piles of the stuff not the delevery systems. That bet is on for 45$. Toad here is trying to sucker me into another bet that maybe the whole thing can be called off at the last minute.... no.. that's too much like playing roulette or backerat.
I was speculatiing that maybe cooler heads would prevail like the president's own father who is also against this invasion.
When you go to Las Vagas what do you play anyway.. Me I like regular poker.. Odds are better when you are only playing against 6 or 7 people.
-
Yeah, you were saying that cooler heads would prevail two weeks ago or whenever it was I first offered the bet.
You didn't believe what you said enough then to make the wager either.
:D
As I said, it's obvious even to the most casual observer now and it was back then too.
Not that I agree with the decision.

The supply ships carrying men and material for the proposed Turkish front are said to be heading south thru the Suez Canal. I'd guess this means we arent going to wait the few days needed to get the vote of permission from the Turkish parliament to begin setting up the Northern front. If they arent going next week, they sure are acting as if they are.

10 bears... I never gamble against the house.
