#1 Iran better be glad I'm not in GW's shoes. They would not have a single gasoline terminal or refinery that was not incinerated.

#2 Do I understand correctly that they don't have any refining capacity?

#3 gorb...Not entirely correct. Though they have extensive oil reserves and pumping capacity...Iran has limited gasoline refining capability. My recollection is they import almost 70% of the refined gasoline (from their own crude). Hence, 100 or so well targeted TLAMs (or SOF) would take out all of the Iranian gasoline refining capacity, and all of the gas import terminals. It would leave the mad mullahs completely paralized.
