im sick and tired of the suggestions by the libs that al qaeda is led and supported by ONE camel jockey with a cane, a donkey, and a camel in the hills of afghasnistan who also just happens to have hundreds of millions of dollars. HE IS STATE FUNDED supported, protected, etc. how naive can we be? the islamofascists have successfully reduced us to morons in the hills of afghanistan looking for said camel jockey. what a pr disaster.
Assembling the fighting force to prevent a disaster would require a massive build-up in the region, something that the U.S. cannot do without tripping the caution light to the Iranians.
Put simply, a narrow attack on Iranian installations could result in a catastrophe without enough contengencies in place. Such contengencies would be obvious to the media hounds, thus tipping off the Iranians. Bottom line, we haven't seen such a build-up yet. Thus I don't see it happening.
