When you start talking about destroying an entire country it tends to make people see you in a bad light.

someone pounded a shoe on a podium once and said "we will bury you".
then they were our friends, then they were our enemies again, no, our friends, wait, enemies again.
you are offering a pretext, not a reason. basically repeating the media story that is our offical pretext - we have to protect israel, blah blah.
a threat is only credible when delivered by a credible threat, and even then, it's only a threat.
just like "al qaeda will destroy the US" - this is a pretext, small bands of irregulars with stolen weapons on distant continents are not a real threat to an industrial superpower.
