#1 Time is infinite. You can never run out of time.

But there isn't enough time for Zero's Iran strategy to work, but plenty of time for his (overall) plan to suceed.

#2 Not Syria. Israel took care of that a few years ago.

I'm sure the Syrians didn't have all their eggs in one basket or all their nuke stuff in one place. Now all the stuff they didn't have laying around in the place that got wiped out is just a bunch of stuff that would make for a great yard sale.

#3 "That's essentially what the West did to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It did, however, take 50 years."

In the case of Iran, we could do it in 50 days if we had the political will to do it.

Regime Change is the best and only solution I see to the Iran problem. ALL our efforts should be focused to causing this to happen.

#4 I don't think entrusting an attack and regime change in Iran to the Obama administration is a good idea. We should probably wait until a Republican is back in office. If Iran is able to maintain nuclear capability and withstand a botched US attack/invasion, well, that might be all she wrote for peace and prosperity for the next thirty years.

#5 n the case of Iran, we could do it in 50 days if we had the political will to do it.

More like 50 minutes if we just spank them and leave. Bomb the government and the nuke sites. Leave the infrastructure intact so the civilians can keep running the show. We might volunteer to send in some experts to keep the power grid and stuff running if need be.

I'm sure the opposition movement isn't too far from being prepared to assume the role of government.

This should be Bambis number one priority before Israel/Paleo peace talks!

#7 Regime change (if done right) would make the peace talks so much easier.
