Now That’s a Loaded Question
HH: Frank Gaffney, if in fact we struck Iran, in sort of an Operation Desert Fox, like Bill Clinton unleashed on Iraq for 96 hours of pummeling in 1998, and we leveled their facilities like Clinton did to Iraq’s facilities in 1998, what would follow in the world? We’ve got about a minute. Can you tell people what you think would happen?

Your answer, Swillers…? What would you do if you ran the zoo?

It may come to it, but I am not so sure we have the will to do it. A strike like the Israeli one in 1981 would not really do it, as th Iranians learned from the Iraqi mistake. How the Iranians have things built, many spots are in the middle of population centers, meaning lots of collateral damage, which will not play well on CNN. And do we really have the steel to live with $4-$5/gal gas, if it came to that, for what many would view (with most of the media) as an unjustified pre-emptive war? Personally, this all could/should have been taken care of back in 1979 when the bastards invaded sovereign territory, namely our embassy. But that is another rant altogether…..
It’s hard to see a good ending here, and a lot of real ugly ones.
Here are a few other ideas….
We should be funneling small arms to the student dissidents.
Big arms too.
