Umm, what's the strategy of announcing this operation ahead of time?

1. Increase the likelihood of U.S. casualties (and he really doesn't care about the troops).

2. He's bluffing (See: the boy who cried wolf).

3. The threat is a negotiating tactic (but these repeated threats haven't worked yet).

4. He's remarkably stupid.

5. All of the above.
