We almost have to go nuclear on the facilities themselves. Only way to assure their complete destruction...

Conventional air campaign over other targets to soften the regime and destroy their ability to maintain power...

send in special forces to decapitate the regime.

No we don't.

I'd do it differently. I'd hit the radical regime with heavy air bombardment. I'd also hit the nuclear facilities, and send in either special forces or the airborne to take the nuclear facilities and make sure they are destroyed.

Schwaeky, there are always options for planning and execution to complete a mission--especially a mission involving a demolition task. Everyone has some background in physics and enough imagination to make a workable plan.

Imagine a game between a builder of a structure and a destroyer of the same structure--a game where the builder's objective is that of making his structure strong enough to withstand the destroyer's attack on it. Which contestant has the advantage?
