Why is Stealth So Important?

Stealth is used today to "knock down the door" and the rest of
the stuff does the grunt work. The B-2 and other stealth assets
are used to knock down the electronic systems (radar, communications, etc).
Once that's done, you can build air superiority and the enemy has
no GCI to help them. Everything they launch has to go solo. Actually,
if the Iraqi's would have flushed their fighters, they would have done
some damage, but in the end, the massive amount of fighters and AWACS
that were flying could have easily beat them back in a few hours.

Once that's done, the air is ours, and we start plinking pop-up electronic
assets and the mechanized forces.
