But how good is the intelligence on Iran's nuclear program? My limited knowledge is that it is dispersed, underground to a large extent, and close to civilians in many cases. That makes it difficult to:
A. Hit it
B. Determine what each individual base is doing and how important each is to the overall operation.


I'd rather send out only a few air raids to hit more important facilities as opposed to 50 in an attempt to grind the entire program into dust. Both, I would think, would accomplish our goal of stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon any time soon.

Too bad my college education is in economics and not nuclear engineering.
