was why didn't they take out the outbuildings there, that reportedly control the ventilation and other control systems of the facility. Why not bomb the roads or tunnel entrances? Those actions could have gone a long way toward rendering the use of the facility as extremely difficult. I think this was more of a show of massive force that really wasn't needed. Israel could have done what they needed to do without his entering the fray.
