The idea is that they would knock out air defenses with stealth bombers and missiles.
I would guess that we would use SEAD aand launch SRAMS and MRAMS to mitigate aircraft losses.

While the cost is considered... also consider the cost of airplanes and crew.
Should a B-52 just go over the target with bombs, to save $, when it could stand-off launch missiles and the crew/aircraft have a better chance to survive the mission????? Which would you choose if you were in that B-52 and either of the munitions could do the job?
All I was doing was informing about the cost of the munitions. The crew is priceless, and the vehicle has a replacement cost. The mission planners decide the munitions load-out and not the crew.

Just out of curiosity, I took a look at the new Dell desktops. They no longer include internal optical drives. If you want such a drive, you can connect an external drive. They do offer a small, low-powered model that can have an optical drive, but that's also working backwards. I've always like having two DVD drives for copying disks. Companies tell me that I don't need disks or optical drives. They're wrong. I probably have 1,000 disks around the house. They don't want me to use them?
Even internal drives are questionable. I liked being able to add two or more internal drives, but that is no longer guaranteed with new desktops. I guess a DIY is the way to go for a new computer. I'm sticking with what I have.
On the other hand, maybe I'll build another desktop.

This is the reason that I use a dedicated computer assembler. I just request the components and he makes sure the computer will work to optimum potential.
Cost of cruise missile ~$3,000,000
Cost of 2000 lb bomb ~$3,100
Cost of 2000 lb JDAM ~$10,000
Depending upon the mission the use of cruise missiles would not be the smartest choice of weaponry because of cost and the ability to replenish stock.
My Minolta DTL1000 was repaired by:
Advance Camera, Inc.

The battery contacts were corroded and there were some other issues.
Repair was quick and inexpensive.
This should sum it up:
"When we were led into the gas chamber, YOU said nothing.
When we were forcibly converted, YOU said nothing.
When we were thrown out of a country
just for being Jews, YOU said nothing.
When we now defend ourselves
all of a sudden, YOU have something to say.
How did we take our revenge
on the Germans for their Final Solution?
How did we take revenge
on the Spanish for their Inquisition?
How did we take revenge
on Islam for being Dhimmis?
How did we take revenge
on the lies of the Protocols of Zion?
We studied our Torah
We innovated in medicine
We innovated in defense systems
We innovated in technology
We innovated in agriculture
We made music
We wrote poetry
We made the desert bloom
We won Nobel prizes
We founded the movie industry
We financed democracy
We fulfilled the word of Hashem by becoming a light unto the Nations of the Earth.
So World, when you criticize us for defending our heritage and our ancestral homeland, we the Jews of the world do exactly what you did, we ignore you.
You have proven to us for the last 2,000 years that when the chips are down, you don’t care.
Now leave us alone and go sort out your own backyard whilst we continue our 5784-year-old mission, enhancing the world we share.”

Excellent video, Rabbi. Shabbat Sholom.
What gets me is that the "Arabs" voluntarily left their homes when Israel declared statehood because they expected to be on the winning side so they can return. History has shown that their belief was false.
There is no mention of the Jews that were expelled from their homes upon the creation of Israel. Selected memory?
From what I gathered, palestine was a name given by a Roman emperor after the 2nd Bar Kokbar uprising and is a derogatory form of Philistine, who were the enemies of the Kingdom of Israel, and who lived in the area of Gaza.

The LI RR had a "stop" at Grumman Aerospace in Bethpage LI. IIRC, there wasn't a platform, only a step ladder down to the tracks. You'd then have to show your badge to enter the property.
