Jackie, I don't doubt that he intends it to signify a commitment of vast military power. But there is still no war unless another state is involved. And since Arab states have their hands on the jugular of black gold that supplies the economic heart of the capitalist world, I cannot see anything but posturing in that quarter in the long run. Mind you, that won't stop him declaring war on Afghanistan, I suppose. Yeah, they'll do - poor, far away, and not very photogenic. <eg>
