Splendid. If training camps are anything like the ‘training’ or ‘camps’ that I’ve seen those places are mostly dirt with targets set a long distance away from the muddy spots where people kneel to shoot at them. Obstacles are made out of unpainted plywood and the barracks make your freshman dorm look like the Hilton. Building one of those would cost, what, $50k? It would take about five days to build another one using minimally skilled labor. A cruise missile costs a a million. A big GPS-guided bomb dropped by a stealth plane at night can’t cost that much less, and I doubt that the time and resources spent to ensure that the rest of our planes could overfly Iran without playing dodge-the-missile would come cheap either.
All of this takes for granted that the loyal Bushies in charge of choosing targets inside Iran can tell a training camp from a high school soccer field, which by now ought to be pretty hard to believe. I wouldn’t hire these guys to clean a Wendy’s for fear that they’d empty a mop into the deep fryer.
