When questioned yesterday, Tony said that the attack on Iraq was not imminent here. So, what's your guess for the start date?

I'll go for Jan 2003. Worked well last time.


PS Prize for the winner is an all exclusive holiday to a very hot and sandy country formally known as Persia...

There were mutterings about setting up an emergency room in bunker in a meeting I was in a few weeks back - so somethings going down.

I can not believe it will be during the summer/autumn though. Winters got to be the time.

I think that the problem is that with all the recent conflicts going on, America is a little low on missiles and bombs.

They can't afford to get into a war (er, remotely bomb the sh*t out of a country without getting their hands dirty) until their stocks are replenished.

We never left after the Gulf War. We've been dropping a steady amount of ordnance in order to enforce the 38th parallel fly-free zone sinc April 1990.

If we're going to go in, we'd better do it properly this time. Never understood all this cr@p with bombing them for days on end afraid to put troops on the ground.

Guess no one likes body bags People die in wars - full stop. If you can't live with this, then a) don't join any armed forces OR b) don't have an armed force.

Send the boys in on the ground to sort it out proper.

There is no need for any war...... I dont believe America or us want it or need to go to war. But the solution ...I believe "it" has started and will be an inside job.

They're already gearing up for it by sending extra troops and aircraft into Kuwait. 3 of my work-mates went to get their tans earlier today. Just waiting for Organ Grinder Bush to tell Monkey Blair when to go.

Well, apparently the ****** is already flooding the oilfields in preperation to torch them, and he has distrubuted chemical rounds to troops. He may even strike first.[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] According to CH4 news.

They should go in right now (tonight) before this happens. (IMO). Just get the **** on with it [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
