In late June, the Turkish foreign ministry reported heavy air traffic of US military transport planes.

A couple of days ago a German colleague near Frankfurt mentioned that there has been an unusual amount of air traffic through Frankfurt -- Galaxy transports(troops? materiel?) coming in from the west and leaving to the southeast. Along with other indicators of buildup to war he mentioned was one that surprised me because if he is correct (and if I understand him correctly) it implies German preparations for participation.

In any case, I think Germany is likely to drop any opposition to us once Stoiber wins next month's election.

Yes, the buildup is ongoing. There's certainly an increase in mil air traffic. There's a lot of movement at night too.

By deploying forces in small, regular bursts over a long time period it doesn't give the game away.
