PN.....Thank you....my point exactly. Dropping dumb bombs without benefit of timely Intel....sorta ruled that option out.
What on earth is that supposed to mean?

Would not a single effective raid on the Argie National Command not have achieved positive results and saved a lot of blood shed perhaps? Just as if we had been effective in doing so during Gulf War 1 by whacking Saddam as the kickoff to the whole game?
Some Tom Clancy-esque oo-rah political assassination might be something you would consider acceptable, but 'regime change' by such means is not normally on the agenda of civilised nations. The UK sought to expel the invaders from its sovereign soil, not to murder a Head of State. Anyway, who/what/where was this so-called 'Argie National Command' of yours......
