Week 2 and Iran and Foster Parents Plan

Week 2 and work is going well - classic project management, client management, scope management, project definition processes, etc... nice and tasty, you can use a spoon instead of a straw if you'd prefer.

What would a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities look like? Well that's a darn good question. George Friedman doesn't have much to say on it at the moment, his last missive talked about the significance of UBL's (Osama) latest audio message.

But Dr Jeffrey Lewis decided to scribble a bit about a potential strike-plan:

I outline the parameters, challenges and prospects for a strike designed to eliminate just Iran’s nuclear programs. Overall, I think the prospects for a strike are mixed—a properly timed strike might delay Iran’s program by a few years, although there are good reasons to think that the long-term result of a strike would be to worsen America’s security.


Go back and read part 1 and part 2 here.

Also John Pike gives us the options and OPLAN airstrike options.

I've found that the Atlantic Monthly provides a sobering note to a sobering war-game.
