Theres always the AF but of course bombing never seems to work as planned and usually just unites the population being bombed against the bomber. I dont know who said it but bombing is much like terrorism from the air. Iranians will react with terrorism on the ground. No, if one believes you got to stop iran nukes, and you try to do it only from the air:
A. you might not succeed and
B. you may get a reaction you dont like and cant handle.

Thus your point about us having no troops for iran is well founded.

If you and Israel really wanted an Iran war that badly, you should have thought of that sometime during the years you spent pounding the Iraq war drums.



I know this fact is too simple to penetrate the "reality-based" brain, Winnie, but Israel doesn't get to order up US foreign policy. As I said then and ever since, Israel certainly didn't mind the Iraq war but would have ordered up an Iran war if it could have.

Despite the insinuations of Walt and Mearshimer and the ravings of Scheuer (how could such a powerful Zionist machinery have failed to shut him up, I wonder?), Israel is very much the client and the US the master in this arrangement.
