Yes, he would ‘Wag the Dog’, as if that would create a sympathetic response from Americans, but it won’t. He is so despised by most true Americans, that they would see right through it, and it would reinforce their hatred and anger, not ‘Rally around the Flag’.

Such misuse and of our armed men and women in uniform would be treasonous.......................

I fear you overestimate the rationality of the unwashed masses. Rally around the flag they would. My initial gut feeling regarding these events was anger with desire for retribution. After reflection, I realize invasion would accomplish little but further degrade our military forces that have been pushed to the limit for ten years. I assume more rational minds in the administration would nix major boots on the ground ops in favor of air power. Grand spectacle with little risk of failure. Such enthralling television it would be, wrapping the 0ne in the flag all the way to his second inaugaration.

Yes.

And furthermore, launching attacks on a regime he recently helped to install would cement his image as the Supreme Incompetent.
