It's wholly appropriate to ask such questions. At the same time, I understand McClellan's answer. The administration likely keeps and regularly updates attack strategies for Iran, Syria, N. Korea, China, Cuba, Israel, Afghanastan, Columbia, etc... Smartly or poorly, that's what the intelligence agencies do all day. There's probably even a file on how to attack Vietnam again if they wanted to.
Strategy doesn't always imply intent, so while it sounds like he's stonewalling and holding back, he may be speaking the truth about focusing on diplomatic soloutions.
Opening another front in Iran scares me, so I hope to god he is.
