IIRC, Clinton kept America's role in the war at 10,000 feet.

It seemed like a wise approach...turned out to be that way. As it worked out, we were able to do Kosovo with minimal loss of life. In fact, not a single American was killed there. Kosovo is not indicative of other, more complex conflicts.

I know. It's just that everyone is talking about Bush supposedly invading Iran, when we haven't even dropped one bomb on that nation yet.

Not me. Mindweld suggested that it was next. I happen to think that bush will not do much about iran. Maybe I am an optimist.

You probably already know that we cannot bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. They have removed the assets and just shrugged their shoulders when IAEC inspectors inquired what had happened to them. One popular rumor is that a suburb of Tehran now hosts many subterranean bunkers used in their nuclear weapons program.

We are trying to revise a current nuclear bomb for deep subterranean penetration / bunker destruction.

You cannot bomb what you cannot find. Much of what we know today came because of a walk in who dropped a hundred pages of documents on us. When will that next occur?
