What? Again? Last time they barely made it out of port and then had to limp back in under tow.

OK .. if they are against a war with Iraq, then why are they sending ships in?

Because they know we're going in and they want to get in on the spoils of war. The more the merrier, I say.

To monitor and or help/obstruct depending on the situation.

By the way, flushed with oil money Russia's navy is not as rusty as they seem. Yes the Russian vessles are rust buckets but they have had a fresh paint job.

Yes, the story is that they are just arriving to the already crowded Persian Gulf not that they just left port.

You assume they were in a hurry? Getting there before March would have been a waste of time. In the meantime they stop off at ports of call. Pleasure cruise really.
