Bombing Iranian nuclear facilities (again)
There have been discussions before on the prospects of a strike on Iranian nuclear weapons facilities in two threads (maybe more): http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...read.php?t=436 (closed) and another after a NIE was published:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ead.php?t=4491

The prospect that it will happen in the next few months is increasing....The voices in Washington calling for a military strike on Iranian nuclear plants are growing in number and strength.
