The "tipping point" has reach the tipping point..

Military commentators on the cable news networks keep referring to, or looking for, or waiting for, the "tipping point" in Gulf War II. Not that the phrase "tipping point" hasn't been in our language for a very long time, but it's currently popularity must be a reflection of the stickiness of the idea and the grand way that Malcolm Gladwell brought it out in is new rich context, dripping with the juices of complexity, networks, and ideas. I just don't like hearing it in the context of war.
