Now it can be told!
Thanks to diligent research on the part of your correspondent, I have now found the reason why the Iraqis has been incapable of mounting an effective defense to Allied air power. It turns out that their air defense systems are based on an obsolete design from the early 1980's:
Note how instead of using the phased array guidance system favored by air defense systems like Patriot and Aegis, the Iraqis are forced to rely on the three-buttons and a trackball system. That system may be perfectly fine for the 1X point scoring dumb bombs, but against the 6X scoring smart bombs and killer satellites, it is just not as good as America's state of the art systems.
Not only that, but our sources(which are as good as any used by Debka) have found out why the tanks of the Republican Guard are so unwilling to use their night scopes:
Note how instead of using modern raster or polygon-fill technology, the Iraqis are forced to rely on quite dated vector graphics. Sure, this technology is fine if you are tackling some flying saucer, or other vector-graphic tanks, but against the thermal imaging sights of the M1A2, it is simply not up to the task. Not only that, but they only get a new tank every 15 kills, and no Iraqi tank is ever going to manage to get that record.
After seeing these examples of Iraqi technology in action, I am quit certain that we will defeat our foes completely.
