The military surely is, on one contingency planning level or another, considering
an iran attack. The drones test AA capability.

Figure the first strike will be with cruize missiles with emp warheads, Then send
in fire suppression warthogs on to coastal batteries, all to draw fire off the
primary strike corridor.

and these shut down the electrics of the target corridor, and then a reapeated series of
strikes with conventional bunker busters flying 1000 sorties against a series of
targets.

The fire supression and convoy surrounding craft would take some
damage, but if the missile strike is well planned, the AA
wouldn't come back in any strength to stop a very successful
repeated strike, over and over at teh same point, much more
effective than a bunker buster, more the "vulcan gun of bunkder busting" sort
of thinking.

I can feel those boys rarin to go. The military is always ready,
its their job. Rumsfeld was a champion wrestler in his youth.
That tells you a lot about his war technique, he's a go getter
hustler pit bull, thinks himself much more than patton, a mere
general... rumsfeld the great commander, peer of the realm, lord
of the middle east.

Naah, it wasn't really a surveiallance drone, it was a toy airplane,
flown by a child, the iranians must be shooting at birds.
