#2 Who cares? They don't abide by it anyway -- and they'll be toast within the next year.

Irrelevant.

#3 Whether or not they pull out of the non-proliferagtion treaty is not material. They are still the enemy and still a threat. They will still develop their nuclear arsenal whether there is a treaty or not. They view treaties as a way to bide for time to gain advantage. They view treaties as something to be broken. Why bother with treaties with them?

#5 We have the planes. We have the ordnance. We have the fuel. We have the bases. We have the carriers. We already know the targets. We're already deployed in the region. We have the manpower. Sounds good to me.

#6 We aren't quite ready. We found out yet again, that aerial bombs simply don't touch underground bunkers/tunnels. The ones the Iranians constructed in Lebabnon were like their own, but not as deep. We can't touch them in Iran until we develop munitions which can actually destroy deep tunnels. Or decide to really go after them with large nukes, and just get rid of their population.

Use localized drops of fuel-air ordnance to suck the air out of these installations. Cripple all of their environmental control systems, which must be near the surface for heat exchange reasons, and then go after all of the access and egress points pertaining thereto.

Wait for several hours after the first wave of bombings and then come back to bat clean-up on all emerging wounded and other hostiles. This wave should also manage to catch some doors open whereby further administration of fuel-air bombs will evacuate the atmosphere from these already damaged facilities. Those who are inside of the bunkers are among our primary targets in that they represent the most highly trained nuclear technologists that Iran possesses.

More importantly, any attack must be coordinated with a comprehensive decapping of all Iranian leadership. This must be a top-down affair that strips out all of mullahs, their material wealth and whatever fallbacks they have amassed.

Finally, a simple notice that any further resistance will be met with a complete and total crippling of their petroleum industry.

This is doable. We have no options. Israel could only achieve similar results through the use of nuclear weapons and that is not a valid approach at this time. Iran must be taken down.
