Strange, this could possibly be a situation where a temporary ground assault and occupation would actually be adequate, because Iran's popular resistance movement could help set up a new government, but due to Iraq and Afghanistan, we prejudge any invasion as some sort of potential long term occupation. But an air assault, and then invasion to clear out the nukes and set up a new government could work but not something Obama would do because he cares too much about the second term.
