I worry about our not "getting" all the hidden resources of Iran, and having 150,000 of our finest right there in the area for Iran to blast with a nuclear bomb we didn't find.
There's GOT to be covert and other steps to take first. STRONG arm the other options.
Point well taken and I do believe their rulers would allow their people to be killed to do just that. The key would be for our surveillance to be able to detect the movement of their leaders at all times,that would be a giveaway if we could do it.Also what kind of risk would it pose for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
