7. #1. US launches "surgical" strikes on targets in Iran (the Nightmare begins).
#2. Iran immediately lets the Sunburn missiles fly, and within four hours half the US fleet in the Persian Gulf is destroyed and several thousand US sailors are lost.
Here's a better scenario:
#1. US Navy Task Groups exit the Persian Gulf.
#2. Air- and submarine-launched cruise missiles, along with bombs from Air Force F-117s take out Sunburn missile batteries that have been localized through satellite imagery and SEAL reconnaissance.
#3. Remaining Sunburns are badly damaged, operators have fled their posts or are unable to read their Russian operating manuals.
#4. Navy Task Groups re-enter gulf, hold "swim call" under glow of multiple new suns arising from Iranian landscape.
#5. DemoTex goes to bed for several days with case of deep depression over the fact that no Americans died.
