Just go in a get the chemical weapons out of harms way no matter what it takes ...

it won't be like Iraq I'm sure of this.

Boots on the ground yes, but not to stay ... keep them moving make a highway to the Med and control it on both sides to escort the weapons out of the country.

Number one priority is not to stay ... no fortresses ... no Alamo's.

You see it too rosy. You do not go into a hostile country which already is a battlezone, guard a few highways without being engaged in heavy combat, know where their chemicals are, role them out of the country, and get out.

It is simplifications like these that has caused - and costed - the Iraq and Afghanistan war already.

I assume the Mossad has some pretty good estimations on some weapons storage sites. Take them out from the air. Maybe US satellites can contribute a couple of ideas - if so, take their considered targets out, too.

More objectives probably cannot be achieved without a full scale ground invasion - and that would be madness, and not supported by any people in the West, no matter the nationality.

Let's be realistic.
