Freedom is never free, but it's never, ever, been delivered by air power alone.
A free Iran, however, isn't even one of the President's war aims. He seeks the (second) obliteration of Iran's A-bomb potential, the obliteration of its missile factories, the surrender of its armed forces and the installation of a friendly government - democratic, theocratic, whatever. He said so today.
All to be done in a few weeks without ground troops. We needed 170,000 soldiers and marines in Iraq (a smaller country) and the result - in spite of our prompt overthrow of Hussein - was years of war and the rise of ISIS.
