So what? No air defense system in the world would last three days against our concerted effort to detroy it. Saddam's formidable air defenses were disposed of in a matter of hours.

Yea, but we didn't send BUFFs or even Bones to destroy it. We sent F-117s, with the RCS of a smooth golf ball, maybe less.

We sent F-117s,

Along with many EA-6Bs and EF-111s providing SEAD so those golf balls wouldn't be detected.
