-potentially big news. If true, this would make for 3 CBGs and 1 amphip carrier group in the Gulf.

Man oh man, that’s a lot of naval airpower in a pretty small theatre.
But this is the kind of stuff the bloody mullahs understand.

The six members of the GCC - Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE and Oman - lie just across the Gulf from Iran. Generals in the Iranian military have repeatedly warned that American interests in the region will be targeted if Iran... I ain't skeered, Iran. I ain't skeered.

This may be nothing but routine. The Lincoln is due to be relieved in a month or so.

I would not trust a Kuwaiti news source to know the difference between “additional carriers”, and normal rotation deployments.
I'm not sure what the frequency is now, but when I was in, the carriers were rotated after six months. And your ship did not turn for home until it was relieved. I don't know how many of these "Oh my God were going to war with Iran" stories I've read here because of Carriers leaving the U.S. for the Gulf.

I hope we are past the point where we are announcing our moves in advance. Interesting though that this is a Kuwaiti source. How would they know?
To: jhpigott
This story gets recycled in the media over and over. Seems this happens a couple of times per year. I can assure you that the Pentagon would not share any plans with any of those Gulf States ahead of time. Those regimes, including Kuwait, are infested with Islamists who would warn Iran of any activity ahead of time.

Positioning for operations in support of an impending Israeli strike perhaps?

-potentially big news. Yeah, for the crew of the carrier being relieved and heading for home. In this case the Lincoln.

We should wait until after the election. Why. Because if McCain wins and it's looking quite possible that he may. Iran may want to make a deal with Bush rather than that “Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb Iran” wrinkly old white haired guy. May not have to fire a shot.
