Quote from Molon Labe:



The war must begin in the 5 month window between November and March. Otherwise it is simply too hot to wear all the necessary chemical warfare protective gear.

The average high in Baghdad is already 96 degrees in May, climbing up to 110 degrees in July. The weather then stays hellish all the way until November when it finally cools down to 74 degrees. Note that Baghdad weather is nice and cool compared to the southern deserts the troops must cross to get there. Kuwait city averages 100 in May, 112 in July.

We are not prepared to launch this war during the current cool period, as we've suffered some major short-term setbacks,
most important of which is the recently elected Islamist regime in Turkey backing out of their alliance with us. Seems they're now more interested in fighting against our Kurdish allies in northern Iraq, than fighting Saddam.
November will be the first possible optimal opportunity for this war to begin- <b>no sooner</b>.



Hate to disagree, and I don't feel strong enough about it for $10K, no edge; but I fell the next 3 weeks is the start, no later than end of February.

I will stand for a dinner bet next time I am in Chicago though ...
 
Quote from Rearden Metal:

Dinner bet it is. May I suggest my favorite restaraunt here: Souk on North/Milwakee. First class Middle Eastern food.

That will be fine; are you trying to confuse me with a name change ...
 
I just got sick of the old one. Nobody understood it anyways.

It's no secret that I have a very favorable opinion of Ayn Rand's philosophy. In <i>Atlas Shrugged</I>, Rearden Metal is the fruit of a brilliant hard-working industrialist. He worked his ass off for ten years to create a new metal alloy that's stronger than steel, weighs less, and is cheaper to produce. He had to overcome the protest of all the liberals & looters just to get Rearden Metal into use in the form of train tracks.

Rearden Metal is progress & innovation in the face of adversity.
 
1) inandlong is a good guy with a good sense of humor

2) babak & moron lube job are complete wastes of human life.

3) babak is oh so jealous of shortboy.com's success, and shortboys audited track record of 7 year profitability.

4) few people here have a sense of humor, other than inandlong.

5) people need to lighten up!


This is my rationale, slow folks. Today we find empty missiles, which can be loaded with biological weapons. Bush would go to war with FAR LESS evidence than this. Before this find i was sure he would start the war within weeks. Now i'm 100% sure.

This is the internet. I dont know any of you, nor do I want to. That eliminates most chance of a bet and interaction. I know I would win the bet anyway. I'm too much of a gentleman to take money like that. I will be back here when the war begins, to accept moron lube jobs apology. I dont want the $10,000 that I would have won, I just want an apology for his ignorance regarding foreign policy.

babak, there's no hope for you. babak, your the dirt under my shoe. WHEN you're mentioned in the wall street journal, forbes, and have a track record of profitability for 7 years, and a successful website, I MAY listen to you. Get it? I'm sure you don't.
