Just one month after I pointed out moves which seem to signal the U.S. is gearing up against Iran, we’ve now sent a second aircraft carrier to the Gulf.

“This deployment has been planned for a long time,” (U.S. Defense Secretary Robert) Gates said. “I don’t think we’ll have two carriers there for a protracted period of time. So I don’t see it as an escalation. I think it could be seen, though, as a reminder.”

Funny, I doubt Tehran will view it that way.
