Matthews just asked Michael Rubin,
"is it possible for Israel to do some Entebbe-style assault and go into Iran and kill 6 or 7 top guys?"
This like asking your dog if he's a good boy and wants a treat. Rubin practically clapped his hands and started to wheeze. This is because (a) bombing Iran gives everyone at the American Enterprise Institute, including the women, a boner and (b) it made Rubin's response, whatever it may be, sound sane by comparison.
Though Rubin gave it a shot,
"What's more feasible is if Iran has buried nuclear materials in underground facilities, [the Israelis] don't have to blow up the facilities, they just have to blow up the entrances."
So there's your false choice. The Israelis can either conduct a raid of the Evil Iranian Hideout and kill the 6-7 top leaders (we presume they hang-out together) or, more prudently, we can bomb the exterior of their nuclear facilities.
Paraphrasing,
"should we invade, or just bomb?"
"great question, Chris."
