From today's Guardian:
With the deployments currently under way, President George Bush could go to war soon after January 27, when the chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix, is to report to the UN security council on the progress of the inspections.
The new moon over Iraq will come on February 2, I'm told. Expect the shooting (or at least the announced start) to begin around 1pm EST on February 1.
"Announced start". I like that. I'd bet we have guys stooging around Iraq right now. Maybe lots of guys.
Bingo! I'll be very surprised if Saddam sees his shadow on Groundhog Day and forecasts six more weeks of dictatorship.
According to these guys the war started already.

Sorry, didn't realize you linked to it already (hazards of scrolling down....)
Actually, we have about a week of negligible moonlight during that time period. When it's above the horizon, it will mostly be daytime. http://www.chinpokomon.com/archives/000129.html#000129
