I was suspicious of this story at first, then my suspicions lessened greatly when it was on Reason.com. Reason.com is by no means a fluff magazine or a propaganda piece/outlet by any stretch of the imagination. A fantastic news source.
I then went to Google News and entered the keywords "French troops Syria" and found some news outlets on this. I am beginning to wonder if it is possible French (and/or even British) troops are going in. Hmmm...

Oops, meant to write “preparation.”
In a rush... That’s what you get. <sigh
Now no more distractions...
What do you think about this story and it being on Reason.com?
The USS Eisenhower... 8,000 troops... French/British troops? Ground invasion?

Time to prepare articles of impeachment.

I bet the USS Eisenhower is running chemical weapons drills.

The next time Obama gives Congress the required notice of intent to commit US ground forces will be the first.

They should have followed Tuco's Law, variant 3: "If you are going to intervene, intervene." Instead, the _resident waits until chemical weapons are out of storage, primed and ready.
Then he puts the troops in harm's way. Just like waiting for Iran to get a functional nuke.
Prayers for our troops.

...indicating US preperation for a potential ground intervention.
Intervention?? No, an intervention is what Oprah or Dr Phil conducts. When you send military into a foreign country it is called "invasion."
The little man with cheeks of tan was handed an array of "toys" with which he should never have been entrusted.

The USS Eisenhower...arrived at the Syrian coast yesterday in the midst of a heavy storm, indicating US preperation for a potential ground intervention. Good God, imagine if Bush were in the White House... the "media" and their democrat bosses would be literally and shrilly screaming for heads.

Comment:
Time to smell the coffee.
Syria is one more revolution that is part of arab spring operation. Brought to us by the globalist/elites.
Essentially these revolutions are Globalist / Soros revolutions that the State Dept provides funding for through USAID and other programs. The US Military is used, as it was in Libya, to keep the target nation from using large air campaigns to defeat the insurgency. The CIA is used where necessary (as these are official U.S. operations).
Please read the State Depts own websites. It's there, it's just not put on TV so no one knows about it. Who sits and reads the State Dept websites ? Almost no one.

Interesting as I’ve always understood Reason was extremely left wing. I’ll have to drop by, and read there one of these days.

To me, the most interesting question is: why is Obama in such a hurry to have the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical Islamist groups take over one country after another after another?
Whatever the reason is, it almost certainly can't be good.
