I don't think anything like that is going to erupt, and partly because we know we can't handle it right now.

I am not 100% sure about this. While the Army and the Marines are without a doubt tied down in Afghanistan and Iraq, I wouldn't be surprised if the Air Force and Navy are pretty bored right now.
