Well, in the UNSC today, the US and UK have set March 17th as the final deadline for war against Iraq. I was planning some stuff with friends for St.Patrick's day, but maybe not if war is breaking out. So is this finally it for diplomacy and are we finally about to go to war? Or is there any chance of last minute compliance by Saddam?

The last war was fabbo on CNN. I'll buy some Stella Artois and hopefully they'll be some good coverage. Nothing like staying up all night and being glued to the TV -
Damn. They are only giving me two days to get to Kuwait?

Given the fact the resoltuion will probably get shot down, March 17 might not be the real deadline..whether it is before or not, no clue. Besides, even if it does pass, the dealine in March 17..so the War would begin the 18th, and Hence "The Hangover War"If you don't like reality, change it! me

Why didn't they star this war on the 14th of February? I would have loved a remake of the St Valentine's Day Massacre...Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards

That'd be funny if he did use that as a day, and then of all a sudden he announced that the whole war thing was just a prank on Saddam.Originally posted by SuperSneak

From watching the news it seemd like this is the deadline UN resolution or not, though I suppose war might be put off if Turkey decides to cooperate or there is a UN compromise."I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer

Hmm ... if we go to war, I bet it won't be March 17. Probably before, since France, et al., have stated they will not support any resolution that contains a firm compliance date. Fighting will break out before March 17 ...

It's not often I agree with Sten, but he has a point. The full moon is coming on the 18th. I thought the whole point of equipping U.S. soldiers with night vision goggles was that they could fight under cover of darkness.
