Usually I'd agree, but I think they are traveling by the moon's light since Bush gave Saddam and his sons 2 days to get out of the country and it's only been one day so far. [img]smile.gif[/img]

We'd rather fight with no moon! If you remember in 1991 we attacked with the new moon. No one can fight like we can in the dark. we like the dark... the dark is our friend!

Sir T, you have a point and I'm guessing that the timing of the ultimatum to Saddam was set to give us the new moon phase to start in.

Indeed it is, O Mistress of the Puffy White Water Vapor.

That's because of a weakness found by the Serbs regarding the Stealth Bomber. Apparantly, they are much easier to "spot" when there is a full moon.

I saw a news clip the other night stating Saddam Hussein had consulted the Serbs on how to defend Baghdad against the technologically advanced weapons the U.S. will use (smart bombs, Stealth Bombers, etc). The Serbs informed Saddam that thick, black smoke would often "confuse" the laser guidance system of our smart bombs....so he has had people in Baghdad digging holes and filling them with fuel for fires (trash, wood, etc). The Serbs also informed Saddam that our Stealth Bombers were much more vulnerable under the light of a full moon.

Since it is almost garuanteed that Stealth Bombers will be used in the opening salvo of air strikes against Baghdad...it certainly makes sense to wait until just after the full moon before launching the first strike.

Bush should say 'I know you are but what am I?"

Oh just leave both in a locked room, with nothing but their clothes, a no holds bar wrestling match against the two. Winner takes all.
