10Bears, I gotta laugh. I think Nash and I are pretty much on the same page overall. Guess you don't see it.
OK, here's the bet:
$45 (or more if you like.)
1. Use of chem/bio weapons during the combat phase means I win. Finding chem/bio weapons with 3 months after cessation of hostilities means I win.
(Sorry, but you know 2 weeks isn't long enough for Blix and crew to unpack their underwear and this stuff is obviously pretty well hidden. It's going to take a little time to get the collaborators to come forward and lead the way. I doubt Iraqis are going to want to spill the beans until they're quite sure the Hussein days are over.)
Three months, that's the bet. Hey, it's taken them 12 YEARS to get this far.
2. It's gotta be Blix and crew OR his UN appointed follow-on. We don't know; Blix might quit in disgust if the war starts or something. So, make it a UN sponsored investigator or something.
3. Any chem/bio weaponry or components that are on the prohibited list counts. You're saying they have nothing on the prohibited list, I'm saying they do.
After all, this war is about them not 'fessing up to what they have that is on the list. If they have the prohibited precursor chemicals to VX for example... bingo, I win.
4. The hippy girl is out of it. I figured you just tossed her in there so you'd have a bolt hole to avoid paying when you lost.
She isn't my daughter but she sure looks like a potential momma I used to run around with back in the "make love, not war" days.
Now, you in or you running away?
