I saw that, and I get that part of it. it's an expression of religion. But a lot of them were just going... ululululululu!! You could see their toungues moving up and down in their mouths too. It's done in a high pitched voice very loudly. To a Westerner it looks and sounds completely idiotic.

Well im sure our YEEEHAWWS look pretty dumb to them to.

That's just not feasible. That kinda crap only happens in the movies. Like I said in my original post. Probably gonna use airplanes. Probably through Turkey and probably not until they are damn sure that the Iranians are on a course to actually produce a weapon as opposed to bumbing around trying to figure out how to enrich uranium -- no easy task, particularly with the world breathing down their neck.

As for flying through Iraq -- ain't gonna happen. In case you guys haven't noticed, the US and Great Britain pretty much control the airspace over Iraq. I'm thinking we wouldn't be too cooperative if the Israelis decided to strike Iran. I'm guessing they wouldn't take the chance of dragging us into it either. The Israelis can be pretty stupid sometimes, but not that stupid.

What aircraft do you think they would use and what ordinance do they have to destroy all 15 of those well-defended sites?

Probably would use F-15's as the main strikers, ordanance depends on what they want to achieve, how they want to attack, and what sort of PK they want to guarantee. Figuring all that crap out is what they train fighter pilots to do.

As for the targets, there's probably no need to attack all 15 sites. They need to take out the critical targets. Of course that all depends on what the overall objective is. As for "well-defended", that's all relative and it's what you expect when you attack another sovereign country. I'm guessing they have tactics, techniques, and procedures in addition to doctrine, equipment and training to try and overcome AD threats.

Hahaha... No doubt, Rabs!

Maybe in a second wave but stealth aircarft and cruise missles will make up the majority of the strike package IMO.

If anybody is going to strike Iran I think it will be the US.

Israel is Iran's first and most hated target, no way in hell Israel would allow them to develop their nuclear program. With the size of Israel, one mid-sized nuke could wipe it off the map in its entirety, just like Iran's president said it should be done.
The US, Europe, etc say that military is the last option, but it's a very real option, and Israel is not shy about using its military. They'll bomb the crap out of it.

Does Israel even have cruise missiles?

I'm not sure, but the US could deal them some.
