The US does not have a realistic military option.
It would be easy to bomb them without declaring war. Maybe it will engender hate for their leader who got them into that mess. It worked for Israel when they did it with Iraq, there is no reason to suspect this is different. But even if it did make them more radical it would still be a better choice than allowing them to have nukes. So they most certainly do have a realistic military option.
