The attack will start either around 28 February or 1 April. This administration has already said that rule of law can go screw. We will attack for no reason, no matter what the UN or anyone else says.

Watch the equipment. For example, a 28 February attack means the 101st Airborne will be without their heavy weapons - especially so essential helicopters. A February attack means not all units will be ready. But an April attack means that late April battles will be difficult for US forces in extreme heat.

British 7th Armour will only just be getting equipped. Not enough time to prepare equipment. Not all naval carriers will be in position. Watch where carriers from Norfolk are located.

Also note where even most major French naval forces are deployed. They too are located in the Eastern Med ready to deploy.

My bet is that George Jr is so hungry for an attack that he will push for the February date with followup troops to take reserve positions if required. Military said they can deploy faster. George Jr may hold them to their claim. George Jr is so hungry to attack that a Nato delay for deployment in Turkey resulted in hyperbaric confrontation. A confrontation only necessary if war is to be started about 28th February.

However, the military probably wants the April date. But victory must be achieved before second half of April - which means little margin for error. Two dates - 28 Februrary or 1 April. Anyone want to bet on an April Fool date?
