Part II - Why attacking Iran would be US-Israel mission impossible
The RQ-170 Sentinel drone also known as the "Beast of Kandahar"
by Joseph Earnest December 11, 2011
Newscast Media WASHINGTON, D.C. — One of the most severe issues that will arise, should the U.S. attack Iran is that the Strait of Hormuz will be blocked, through which 40 percent of the world's oil travels. The effects here at home will be obvious in relation to gas prices, but this is even a greater incentive for the Chinese to intervene on behalf of Iran.
The Chinese, just like the Russians are eager to study the downed drone, because the U.S. has been making a lot of noise about China, and Hillary Clinton is perceived by the Russians as someone who is interfering with Russian politics. Iran will definitely give the Chinese and Russians access to this new technology, and might even grant access to the North Koreans, who are believed to be helping the Iranians in developing nuclear technology. Nobody knows what the Iranians will ask in exchange for granting them unrestricted access to the drone. Essentially what happened is that the U.S. did the research and developed the technology, now Russia, China and Iran are getting it for free.
However, since the Iranians have been preparing for war for over a decade, it must be noted that they have advanced themselves in sophisticated weaponry especially at sea. The Iranian navy commander—Rear Adm. Sajad Kouchaki, one of the architects of the country's naval doctrine—recently claimed that Iranian submarines continually monitor U.S. naval movements, frequently at close range, and have even passed underneath American aircraft carriers and other warships undetected. Below is a video showing the Geography of the Persian Gulf.
This video was shot before Iran captured the U.S. stealth drone—which changed the entire dynamics about how Iran is now viewed, given its superior electronic
warfare unit that enabled it to capture and land the drone.
In my previously written articles, I indicated how the Iranians have literally taken a page out of Sun Tzu's Art of War. In regard to the downed stealth drone, it was one of the prized possessions of the U.S. to the point where commandos were planning on entering Iran in an attempt to retrieve it, but the mission was later aborted because it would have been viewed as violation of Iranian territory, according to this FOX News report.

(page 59. The Art of War)
The Washington Institute for near east policy did extensive research on Iran's Doctrine of Asymmetric Naval Warfare, and found that Iran has sought to improve its ability to achieve surprise attacks by employing low-observable technologies (such as radar-absorbent paints), strict communications discipline, stringent emissions control measures, passively or autonomously guided weapons systems (such as the Kowsar series of television-guided antiship missiles), and sophisticated command-and-control arrangements.
The report concluded that current Iranian naval deployments are aimed at deterring an American attack and—in the event of hostilities—entrapping and destroying U.S. naval forces in the Persian Gulf, at which time U.S. regional bases would be targeted with rocket and missile strikes as well. Read entire report.
One summer day in 1999, I was in Dallas, Texas driving to a meeting. Something that struck me was that the cars seemed to be stalling for almost half a mile, even though it was not rush hour. I couldn't imagine why the traffic jam was occurring. I patiently waited to get to my exit, and as I approached it, I noticed something unusual. There were cars parked on the side of the road, right below the overpass, and the motorists were standing outside yelling something.
I found the whole spectacle intriguing, so I decided to investigate and see what all the commotion was about. Several feet above the freeway, a man is standing at the edge of the overpass attempting to grow wings. He has given up on life and wants to take his own life by leaping into the busy traffic below him. The man has one of his legs over the concrete blocks and it seems that any moment he will certainly grow wings.
Behind the man is an entire squad of police officers yelling:"Don't jump! Don't jump!" Below him, the motorists who have stepped out of their cars are yelling at him:"Jump! Jump!"
Right now there are several voices whispering in Obama's ear. Some are encouraging him to attack Iran, others are telling him not to do it. The voice that is most prominent, will eventually get its way. Luckily, the man in Dallas who was trying to take his life was successfully tackled by the cops, who saved him from making a fatal decision. Go to Part III and read the final installation>>
