We're not doing anything that will materially affect their ability to develop a nuclear weapon after the war, from where they were right before the war.

Depends on how many of their scientists and engineers we're getting.

Just that this particular alternative won't work, but has a lot of other costs that different tactics do not. Even if one is correct that Iran can't be bribed out of pursuing a nuke, that doesn't mean that they can be bombed out of pursuing a nuke - it just means that bribing them wouldn't work. Just because the "implicit alternative" wasn't working doesn't mean that this plan of action "is working."

At any rate, the point was that this article didn't appear on Fox. It was on al-Jazeera.
