From Drudge, The United States is planning a major Persian Gulf buildup to send a signal to Iran:
The Pentagon is planning a major buildup of Naval forces in and around the Persian Gulf as a warning to Iran, it was reported last night.
The buildup, which would included a ago second aircraft carrier to the one already there is being proposed as a response to what US officials view as increasingly provocative acts by Iran, David Martin reported on CBS EVENING NEWS.
Recent Iranian naval exercises in the Persian Gulf, support for Shiite militias in Iraq, and its nuclear enrichment program which US intelligence believes is designed to produce a bomb." CBS added, "Military officers say the buildup would take place after the first of the year, not to actually attack Iran but to discourage its leaders from spreading their Shiite revolution."

Debka had reported late last month that 3 aircraft carrier battle groups and a marine carrying ship (B*****) something were already there.
Yeah, I remember that. I have also talked to people who live in naval towns who report that there is very little in port.
I have heard rumors like this for a long time now, that we are in something near full war mode. I don't know enough about the military to explain it. I just hear rumors.
Now thats how I like it, didn't president Teddy say at the begining of the last century speak quietly and carry a big stick. I only hope that when and if they use it they don't hold anything back.
Signals?
Signals?
We don't need no steeenking signals.
We don't have the CREDIBILITY to send signals.
Here's your frigging signal.
