Title: When will CNN break in with *the* announcement? Place your predictions here
Post by: Wanker on March 17, 2003, 02:03:39 PM

My guess is Wednesday, March 19, 18:45 hrs, Central time.

Gives the inspectors and civilians time to leave Baghdad, and also would be around the same time of day that CNN broke in and reported bombs falling on Baghdad in 1991.

Having the moon down is important so the stealth aircraft are not silhouetted for the Iraqi AA guns.

The figure being leaked for the speech tonite is 72 hours.  Its Tuesday, 3 or 4 am now, so I'd guess Friday, same time, or late Friday eve-early Saturday morning, both Baghdad time.

Yep special forces have been there for quite a while.
And the air war has never really stopped (no fly zone enforcement).  So ground and air actions are already in progress.

There's no way there will be a declaration of war because Congress already authorized this action and Presidents don't like to declare war because it changes our government in ways that would be unpopular.

So I assume banana is wondering when ground forces will cross the border.  

I think there will be at least 72 hours air prep, probably more.  
And Bush just gave Saddam 48 hours.  So 5 days bare minimum.

If ground forces cross the border before next Monday I'll eat my hat.

For those of you who can't read English(Funked!:)),

I want to know what time CNN breaks in with the "We hear bombs falling in Baghdad" report.

Not when ground troops cross the border.....

Not when the continuing no-fly zone enforcement continues...

We all know the war has already started, with special ops forces on the ground, etc......

But when bombs start falling on Baghdad has been the traditional start to the war(s).

Wednesday morning Iraqi time, early, about 2 am. Rumour is theres a sandstorm sweeping through which will have cleared by then, and that this is the Muslim 'weekend' so civi's will be at home.
