Hi Neo, You've given the government party line in three sentences. I'll go through a post on each of the items with a POV not espoused by the administration:

"Determined populace" is a carefully-constructed phrase. See my prev post on 12 words used in official government media communications.

Actually, the populace is "determined" not to get blown up. Americans don't know what to do, have been given no role in the administration's plans, other than the role of "targets".

As such, they are answering poll questions with anything that may take that big circle off of the cities and shopping malls. So far, since the government has told everyone they may be nuked any moment, they have been told of no other option but to continue the war overseas, and the only reaction would be to vote "yes, please do what you can". Meanwhile, any crack in that credibility will crater the administration's support if people think there is any other option that they weren't told about.
