War? What war? So far it is all talk and no show.

I guess you think the war on Iraq and Yugoslavia was all talk and no show. The build up time for either of those two wars was a lot longer than 17 days, with direct access available in both cases. This war, potentially larger than both of them combined, without the benefit of direct access, will also require build up time. I've seen a lot more than "all talk."

My bet is that there will be no military action whatsoever till the end of the year.
