Tony, I think you are over-reacting.
We here at the White House prefer to refer to this as just Slightly More Concerned, rather than Very Concerned.
Your CIC...

When the threat level is raised to Very Concerned...our illustrious CIC will send in our secret weapon, San Fran Nan.
If my memory serves me correctly, she made an unsanctioned visit to Syria. She already has established diplomatic relations and I feel certain she, with her silver tongue, can calm this crisis down.
Maybe Russia can give her a lift.
