U.S. ships headed to Mideast called a warning to Iran

From the Associated Press
January 24, 2007

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES — A second U.S. aircraft carrier group steaming toward the Middle East is Washington's way of warning Iran to back down in its attempts to dominate the region, a top U.S. diplomat said Tuesday.


------------------

It costs a lot of money to move and maintain that much machinery (part of the milindus profit margin on Bush War 1 was in having so many troops sitting around for so long...spend, spend, spend).

Need it be said? We must avert war with Iran at nearly all costs.
