Pfft, we've got two fronts on the illustrious Gee-WUT and Amerikuh is tired of ACUs and moon dust and rickety humvees right now.

I'm an ignoramus with world events, but: Skipping the typical useless UN diplomatic circle jerk, I figure public support for any type of military action right now would be next to nil even if there was actual tangible evidence of a need to engage in such. It's one thing to kick the asses of a bunch of toothless jihadists living in caves, another to attack a nuclear-armed nation with a standing army big enough to 1-for-1 cast the battle scenes from Lord of the Rings.

Previous administration's chickenhawks cried wolf far too many times and we're deaf to the new ones now... right or wrong.
