While yes, technically we could, I wouldn't recommend it. Most countries who fought on two fronts lost miserably (Germany in WW2 comes to mind). What most people don't seem to understand is, is that Iraq is now coming into it's own, and we can start ratcheting down the troop levels as soon as they are ready. We're already starting to see progress from the troop increase earlier this year.
However, what most people also don't understand, is depending on the enemy, we may not have to fight that war. For example, if Iran decides it wants to get a bit uppity, I'm QUITE certain that the Israeli's would be more then happy to step up to the plate.
So yes, we COULD fight on a third front if need be, but I think that it would mean that we would fight a real war instead of a "bomb the shit out of them, then help them rebuild" kind of thing like we're doing in Afghanistan and Iraq right now.
