June 18, 2008. It is summer time, Ahmadinejad will be caught totally off guard thinking Bush will be on vacation.
December 21, 2007 Friday news dump; Americans too busy shopping for holidays; media primarily covering Americans shopping for holidays; just in time to celebrate Jesus' birthday
Bush twins to join Air Force tech unit in Iraq http://www.militarytimes.com/news/news/ After a couple quick searches of interest. I would say. It will also be in 2008 because it will lead. Or it will fail, the date will never change. This will be it if there is one. February 28, 2008 Target Iran - Air Strikes
If we do bomb Iran what makes anyone think the violence will be limited to Iran. Were I Ahmid... I would have a few dozen squads in the US. They would be outfitted with Rat-Patrol SUVs, RPGs et al. When the first bomb fell on Iran they would put on formal military uniforms. After plastering their Escalades with Iranian military insignia they would attack the Great Lakes Naval Training center and a couple dozen other obscure, unwitting military installations. There is no end to the creative destruction several dozen guys in military uniforms could wreak. Any survivors would be POWs clearly covered by the Geneva Convention. When Bush attempted to treat them otherwise I would go straight to the UN. I dont think our Civilian Command Structure has the wit or imagination to recognize the potential domestic havoc any more thqan they recognized the hell Iraq without Saddam would be. Or, perhaps they do and anarchy in the USA fits their hidden agenda.
My money is on October 18th for no particular reason. But I think they'll use the plan where we fly over Iran, pump fake them with a bombing, then bomb the shit out of Turkmenistan. It serves two purposes: One, it says to Iran "look what we can do" and "this could have been you". And two, those ********ers wouldn't see that shit coming at all. Can you imagine the look on their faces? Comedy gold I tell ya!
March is not a bad guess, but I think it will be a later. I'll say April 23rd. The primaries will already be decided and the election is still months away, so an Iran conflict would still have time to soothe before the election.
August 28 2008 The last day of the Democratic national convention. I was gonna go with Sept 3rd; the second to last day of the GOP convention, but Aug 28th would be far better way to overshadow the Dems nominee acceptance speech and perfectly set up the GOP convention.
Aww....there went my 'unique' pick. I'll go with August 25th, at the beginning of the Democratic National Convention.

Now keep those predictions coming!
I will revise to say 01/20/09 at 3:00PM as it is impossible but closer to the actual answer than anyone elso in this thread has predicted, which is Bush will not bomb Iran.
Given that GWB will be president until noon EST on 01/20/09 and that for the purposes of this pool time of day predictions are irrelevant, I will completely disregard your 3:00PM prediction and put you down for 01/20/09.
please change the year to 2008.....I'm busy this year on that date, so can't watch the mushroom cloud live on FOX.
Well, the first time, yes. But then I believe he will declare that day a national holiday to be celebrated by bombing Iran annually on October 18th. And yes, I'm being sarcastic about this. But not about the Turkmenistan thing, I still think that would be funny.
This is a macabre poll if I ever saw one. I seem to remember that the rainy season starts in Oct. and goes to about Mar. in Iran with most of it falling between Jan. and Feb. I’ll pick 14 Jan 08 with a premature “Mission Accomplished” speech to follow on 1 May ’08. BTW I have nothing against Iran or her people and I certainly don’t want to see their country bombed. I am convinced Bush and his allies are going to do it, however.
PUt me down for Matt's date. Bush won't bomb because -- get this, I'm being serious -- Congress finds a spine.
Congress to find their collective spine? Seriously? I think they’re too busy with their toe tapping bathroom escapades to be arsed with that. “The voice of the people”? Surely, you must be joking.
