Predicting start/finish dates for the WAR

[MrBishop]

Well....48 hours for Saddam and his sons to leave permanently...or War will happen. Me thinks that war will happen. Saddam's a powerful, egotistical man and will not give up power.

So. Earliest start date/time would be March 19th - 8pm EST. Almost smack in the middle of Lent (and Bush is a religious guy) Holy week starts the 13th of April...wouldn't want to be fighting then, so he needs to start early enough.

Academy Awards start on the 23rd. Hmmm.

War starts on the 24th...that'll give them 2 1/2 weeks to sweep across Iraq and take out Saddam...Not enough time, me thinks

So...the War continues through the Holy Week, past Easter and would have to finish before end of May...it'll be too damn hot to fight in Chem suits after that.

My bets are this...Start on the 24th....2am local time (Iraq)
Ending before end of April...let's say...the 29th.

Lets see. The war started in 1916 when Great Britain issued the Balfour Declaration. The war will end in roughly another 200 years.

Really...that soon?

Frankly...I can see why the term Middle-East is beginning to become the equivalent of the term War-Torn. It may even make its way into the dictionaries as such.
