I wonder who could would do better in the Bad Water 100:
Jeremy Wariner or Dean K ??
I am sure JW's strategy would be to just sit on Dean K's ass for 99.8 miles and then just explode with a massive kick the last 200 yds !!! What an awesome race that would be !!

True, but what about JW vs. Pam Reed in a 350 miler across the desert? I would think complexion and ability to withstand sunburn would come into play for this race. Clearly the edge would go to Pam "Ostrich" Reed.
.2 miles is not 200 yards.

Yeah, it would probably be poor race strategy to plan a kick that would leave you well short of the finish line.
Jeremy needs to run another 200m race or two. His speed is a little lacking right now. He's sharpening up before he goes back to tearing up 400s like nobody's business.

But I'm not so sure he would even lose after miscalculating his kick. Using a conservative estimate, he could drop a 20.2 200 at the 99.8 mile point and still jog/walk through the finish and beating DK soundly.
You obviously know nothing about his training to make such a statement.
Clyde Hart's program stresses quite a bit of speed endurance work and now Wariner is into the phase of training in which he is working on special endurance which a 200 would be an important part. Running open 200's enhances the speed reserve you need to go out fast enough in a 400.
It amazes me why anyone would doubt JW's prep at this point in his career. Isn't he always ready to go when it counts the most?
so tell us what wariner's workouts are, distances and times.
