And what do the polls say about an open ended commitment of ground forces?

An airstrike only campaign is certainly tempting. But can it accomplish the military and political objectives? Israel has been signalling their objectives are regime change. Israel is 9 million people, Iran is 90. Israel is already involved in active ground combat in Syria and Gaza. Who is going to be sending the troops if they are required?

.....

B2 bombers couldnt be deniably used IMHO, not with modern satellite imagery widely available. It does seem Israel has been trying to hit Iran's buried infrastructure, and Iran is trying to fill in the holes. If B2s were dropping GBU-57s, our big hole makers, I think the satellites would pick it up. Only B2s and B52s are capable of dropping those.
