covert ops may not work in facilities like Libya's "Rabata II" (IIRC the name) ... it's a chemical warfare facility, built by the Germans I believe, and it's nestled deep in the mountains ... (the Germans built underground bunkers for Iraq in the 1980's as well) ... and you can bet slipping by security is next to impossible in a place like that ... taking out a facility like that requires nuclear "earthquake" weapons that are designed to shake the Earth in the impact area rather than using the heat / blast to destroy ... this is why some weapons have the "frangible" nose so that they land squarely, though against a mountain facility, it seems superfluous ... some I'm sure probably "burrow" before detonation ...

Yeah, hard sites require hard measures. But we definitely have the tools and the talent to do what must be done.
Now, I pray on bended knees that we have the WILL to do what must be done.
