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

American cargo planes are landing and taking off on weekly basis from Deyar and other bases in Turkey.
Theres also a lot of pre-positioning at Incirlik.

Still though, I think we're still quite a while away from any military action.

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.

Funny, Iraq's got all it's forces on the spot already. Howcome everyone thinks the war'll start when it's convenient for us?
