Yes, considerable blowback indeed, especially since Pakistan owns several nuclear devices and rockets capable of delivering them. Its current president is more unpopular than George Bush. An armed attack that may topple the leadership of a nuclear power is a unique kind of blowback threat---one that requires caution and analysis. Political bluster from a candidate behind in the polls does little to inspire confidence. Obama made a big mistake by making Hillary look even more level-headed. He needs new advisors.

Walk softly and carry a big stick. In other words, don't issue threats and act like Rambo on 'roids. If action is needed and warranted, then act. Otherwise STFU.
