Sorry, CNN requires an excerpt and most of the important stuff is down in the article. He basically says we can wrap it up with a bombing campaign and it wouldn't take boots on the ground.

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure Cotton is being over-optimistic here.

A U.S. military campaign against Iran's nuclear facilities would only take "several days" of bombing, Sen. Tom Cotton said Tuesday. And how many months of ground combat, how many years of occupation, and how many decades of nation-building?
To: balch3
Well, let’s not try it to find out.

If you scrub the nation-building, things could be expedited.
However, Bush listened to the liberals too closely, and Obama is himself the ultimate expression of self-destructive liberalism.

OK, a few weeks then. But what cost is worth the world’s survival?

Yeah, he’s talking nonsense...Iran is a huge, well-developed country, and it would take several months of bombing to identify and wipe out its nuclear facilities.

Yes. It’s nonsense. American rules would be too restrictive anyway. The easiest way to stifle Iranians is to pledge that in case of Iranian aggression, an international coalition will guarantee regime change in Iran (and mean it).

And don’t forget the asymmetric warfare blowback that would come our way.

I suppose it depends on what kind of bombs he's talking about.
I can think of a type of bomb which would completely take care of Iran in very short order (possible as short as one day).

Proof that USAF and USN combined strike capabilities are catastrophically too small.

Not if we use the right kind of bomb.
Obama and his ilk want us to reduce our stocks of that kind of bomb, anyway. So it’d be a win-win.
