The Pentagon has formulated a "three-day blitz" plan to annihilate Iran's military that targets 1,200 sites, including Tehran's nuclear facilities, in order to render its military incapable of conducting offensive, defensive or retaliatory missions.That's assuming that Iran is just going to sit there with it's mlitary all exposed, just waiting for the stealth bombers to strike.
According to the London Sunday Times, citing Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, the Pentagon has rejected a strategy of "pinprick strikes" against Iran's nuclear facilities.
"They're about taking out the entire Iranian military," Debat said.
Somehow, I don't think that Iran is doing that. The lessons learned from two attacks on Iraq using stealth has been no doubt learned not only by us, but by the Iranians also.
Unlike the neocons and Israelis supporting Bush's threatened attack on Iran, I am not assuming that Iran's military to be sitting ducks. Surely they have learned a few of the hard lessons from Saddam's failures to disperse, to hide, to mislead.
Since it now appears certain that Bush is going to attack Iran no matter what, we are going find out.
