The complex can't be that secret if its being reported about in the news.

I don't quite understand how we know so much about them, and if this is accurate, why we are just standing by waiting for them to build up their forces even more. I know our current policy, as announced by Secy Rice, is that we hope to destabilize their regime by encouraging dissidents within the country. It seems to me that (even if these dissidents exist in numbers great enough to make a difference) this would take awhile, and it hardly seems that Iran is going to sit around and wait for it.

Judging from our last war, news publications about their "secret" underground complexes is a pretty sure sign that conflict is nigh.

Telling them we know what they are doing causes chaos and replanning in their ranks.

If the word is out that a secret complex is being built then someone knows where it is. If someone knows where it is, so does Israel and probably the US too.

Yup. Many FReepers have expressed the same sentiment. By the time internal dissent may have an effect, they'd have nuclear weapons. So... (Smoke & Mirrors by Rice?)

I expect Warthogs will work as well against boats as they do tanks, huh?

Wow! Those "swarming" Revolutionary Guard rapid attack boats are going to get a really nasty surprise when they encounter the US Navy's Block 1B Phalanx CIWS.
