An attack against Iran would have to be done carefully.

I am no military strategist. I am a student of International Affairs, and have studied International Conflict on several occasions throughout my tenure, and while those in the Military might scoff at the strategy presented below, I challenge them to refute my idea with a better alternative.

I read an article, today, in the New York Post, by Ralph Peters. http://www.nypost.com/seven/07172008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/what_bomb_iran_really_takes_120263.htm
In it, he talks about the dangers of what an attack against Iran would do ,not only to our military, but to the Image of the U.S.A around the world, and to our fragile economy.

I contend that to attack Iran now would be difficult, and dangerous, but doable and ultimately fortuitous. Should Barack Hussein Obama become President, the likelihood of any overt military action taken against any aggressor for ANY reason would be non-existent. President Bush knows this, and if an Obama Presidency becomes more and more likely, the probability of an attack on Iran multiplies. Because, despite his sometimes bumpkin manner, President Bush is a responsible and Security oriented President. Thus, an attack against Iran before Obama would be good for two reasons. One, it would hold back an Iran nuclear plan for AT LEAST 4 years. Long enough to get an ACTUAL President worth something in the office. Second, it would be like eating diner with someone, then when finished, just getting up and leaving. It would be attacking Iran, and sticking an Obama Presidency with the check (It's almost too delicious to fathom).

The strategy of how to to it is ultimately very simple. The US Military has a bomb which essentially releases small magnetic strips into the air and they flutter down around the target site. This is more than just a nuisance, it destroys albeit temporarily all electronic technology, specifically the anti-aircraft technology like radar as well as, the water and power for the cities. These bombs, delivered by the B-2 Stealth Bomber would fly high enough, fast enough and stealthily enough to accomplish the task and be gone before the Iranian military knew what had happened.
Then, stage two commences. Destroy the Nuclear development locations yes, at least the ones we can find. As for the others, destroy the other power plants and water facilities. Remember, we are in the desert here. The productivity, and capability of the Iranian Government, without Power and Water for a month or two would be severely hampered and the Nuclear Program halted. When they build them back up...knock them back down, until they get the message.
And should they be foolish enough to shoot down one of our planes. Then we will need to remove any and all means of transportation in and out of the country, i.e airports, trains, highways, shipyards and any or all manufacturers of domestic transportation, (car and plane makers). Then, see if they still want to act like spoiled children. If so, Stage three. More on that later.
