The Iraq war will, as everyone knows, be launched on the 27 or 28th of february. It will be short and victorious, ending some time in april or march.
You're about 12 years late. The Elder Bush's War against Iraq hasn't actually ended - we've still got US/UK troops in the area, an embargo and blockade of trade, and a "no-fly zone" which means the Allied Forces will shoot down Iraqi aircraft over Iraq. As to whether the US/UK forces, with or without support of the other Allies or permission from the UN, start bombing on 27/28 Feb, you might be right. But it's still the old war.
