Yeah, good point. But I would say this - without compromising our position there (which we all should consider when expressing our views). We have the tankers, Command and Control and (most importantly) the attack assets to do it, if we had to. Admittedly we would have to scale back on other ops. Which we would. Don't think for a moment that this hasn't been considered.
But that, of course isn't Plan A. That is still the best option and is still a strong hand.
