Thanks for the ping. Scary situation that's going to have to be acted on. Diplomacy is just not working. Hopefully, the Iranian people will rise up but that's probably wishful thinking. It's hard for fear to be an effective tool against psycho's and that is what their leaders are.

Nuclear weapons in the hands of any Irani government is a big deal. Nuclear arms in the hands of any additional countries is a huge deal.

"Unfortunately for everybody, Iran is formulating it's plans according to the UN, Democrats, and the MSM. They are not listening to the guy that can pull the trigger."

They are also heavily influenced by Russia, who could care less if they are incinerated.

Diplomatic pressure alone rarely works.

Exactly. As twelve years of Saddam amply demonstrated. "Diplomatic pressure" without a credible military threat lurking in the background is no pressure at all.

I believe that if and when we do decide to act, we must, must target not only facilities but personnel, specifically the engineers and technicians who will otherwise be able to quickly reconstitute the Iran Manhattan Project.

You're right.
