Could we bomb Iran's nuclear facilities?

[plifter]

Is that a possible solution? Send some bombers in to specifically target their nuclear facilities and nothing else avoiding a full scale war.

 

[Phenom78]

They have them spread out apparently in a number of underground facilities. At least some of them would require troops on the ground.

They learned the Iraqi lesson on that score.

i took a college class on laser guided bombs
not as pin-point as you would think, or as hollywood makes it seem
very difficult, gotta have the ground intelligence

It's quite an assumption that you can bomb a country and expect them not to retaliate and therefore lead to a full out war.

What are they going to do?

Fund and supply Iraqi terrorists? They're already doing it full steam.

Set Hezbollah against Israel? Ditto

Time to bomb the shit out of them (nuclear infrastructure), even if we have to put troops on the grouind to do it. After this crap with Israel he ahs the perfect cover to do so.

They're not going to invade Iraq. They'd be slaughtered wholesale.

you speak as if they're rational people

Doesn't matter if they are rational or not. The dumbest thing they could do was attack us. It would give us the excuse to knock their government out of power.

The point is they can't do anything to us they havent already done.

ya ok

That and they would make any bombing look like it hit a humanitarian site, like a Baby formula factory. They may be manufacturing baby formula to make meth to sell to kids in the US to fund Hezbolah against Isreal, but the liberal media would spin it as hungry Iranian babies.

What college did you go to?

The Air Force Academy?

Iran's nuke facilities would be harder to find supposedly than north korea, but north korea could kill a million people in 3 days

And Iran would love to kill about 6.3 million in one day. Ok, maybe 1.3 million less than that, as there are 5 million Jews in Isreal.

At some point you have to say fuck it and just do what you have to do.

There is no great solution here. Just bad and worse.

Worse would be having this same discussion with a nuclear armed Iran.

Unfortunately Israel appears to be bowing to the same pressure, and is trying to fight this war as surgically as possible.

Hopefully someone there will have an epiphony and recognize theyre going to hate you regardless of what you do, so if they want to bite you it hurts a lot less if theyre only doing it with their gums.

Hopefully Isreal doesn't kick out Iran's teeth by turning Tehran into glass.

Yup but they can't...although i guess thats why they have to be stopped. Not sure why the USA would do it, we're definitely not the first target. Let the Israelies deal with the consequences.
