You have to realize that--for its time--the daylight bombing was precision. That's why the Nordem bomb sight was so classified.

It worked well in WW2 and the first and second gulf wars. I'm not saying all the problems would disappear, but if things came down to war we could take out their important infrastructure and supplies for their military. If they don't have water, food, ammunition, factories, etc. there isn't much they can do.
Wut?
--More like carpet bombing the shit out of every major city in WW2, followed by a massive ground invasion, with the Red Army doing the most work on the Eastern Front.
--The US didn't participate in the first Gulf war.
--And the second one didn't really solve the problem, with Saddam Hussein still in power until 2003.

Which "first Gulf War" are you talking about?

It generally refers to Operation DESERT STORM in 1991.

Most people don't know about the Anglo Iraqi war so when you mention Gulf War everyone thinks early 90's. Most people don't refer to '03 as Gulf war 2. They tend to call that ''the war in Iraq.''

Just a heads up about terminology.

Yeah all the US army air corps ever did in WW2 was bomb cities. Ever heard of railroads, trains, bridges, factories, airports, etc.? Germany got it's ass handed to it thanks to the air power. Whoever controls the skies controls the ground combat (during good weather).

If Iran doesn't have any roads, factories, bridges, etc. how are they going to right a war? We can also take out their head government buildings, communications, etc. and they'll have no way too coordinate. Hell after doing all that via B2s I wouldn't even bother sending in ground forces since they couldn't do anything.

I thought Macbeth being a poli sci student would know lel. Well to his defense it's mostly known as the second gulf war amongst more academic circles, while the general public still refers it mainly as "iraq war"

Oh, well. If Google says so...

I love how anyone who disagrees with you is a "fucking moron." Especially coming from someone as heavily schooled as yourself. I really wish I was as smart as you when I was getting my first degree.

I just noticed the response was to Cybargs...I thought you were talking to me.

But you still shouldn't call people fucking morons for that.
