Retrieving the Uranium in Iran

It would seem to me that in order to actually achieve the goal in Iran, either the US or the Israelis or a combination of the two are going to have to send in a team (or teams) of ground troops to go down into the tunnels and bring back every pound of enriched Uranium. I have no idea what a mission like that would look like, what kind of equipment it would involve or how many people it would take, but that seems to me to be the only way to know for sure that they are going to have to completely start over from nothing.

I have read that they are considering it, but most everyone says its pretty much impossible.

It seems as if they are estimated to have around 1,000 lbs of enriched uranium.

When the hardline regime leadership of Iran has basically said they will never stop trying to achieve weapons grade I really don't know what to say. It sucks either way.
You can't just let those fucktards get a nuclear bomb and I simply don't know how even militaries as awesome as ours and Israel's can confidently say that they 100% got all of it.
It's a shitty situation where even the best possible outcome could come at a very high cost.

Sometimes the solution to these things are the simplest. If a child is threatening to hit other children with a stick, then you punish them and take the stick away. If they get another one, you increase the punishment and take that one away too. If you continue to do this even the dumbest child will eventually learn to stop.

simple...you retrieve it with your own nuke. make sure there's nothing left of the plant or the product.

that was my first thought. just keep pounding those bunker buster bombs until you get it. i think they said its too far under ground. Plus, if you don't put human eyes on it, and physically carry it away, how can you be sure you really got it. We can't keep doing this every 6 months.
