The F-117s were used at the start of the war to attack vital military targets, such as radars, military centers, etc. For example, one F-117 destroyed Iraq's military communication center with a laser-guided "smart" bomb. This has seriously impaired (in fact, eliminated) Iraq's ability to direct its defense.
