Ret. Gen. Hertling Says Ground Force Is Required to Seize Iran’s Uranium: If They‘re Acting Alone, ‘How Are They Going to Get There?’

EXCERPT:

HERTLING: “Yes. Absolutely. And here’s why. You know, the administration has said we’re going to send in special operators. That’s great.

And when you’re talking about a country that’s the size of Iran, three times larger than Iraq. It’s a big territory with mountains and underground facilities. Unlike Iraq, which was desert.

So, suddenly you see the force creeping and creeping, and if they’re acting alone, you have to ask the question, how are they going to get there? What resupplies are they going to have? How long can they stay?”
