U.S., British Navies Mass in Persian Gulf

The forces apparently anticipate an Israeli strike against Iran

An armada of US and British naval power is massing in the Persian Gulf in the belief that Israel is considering a pre-emptive strike against Iran's suspected nuclear weapons programme.

Cruisers, aircraft carriers and minesweepers from 25 nations are converging on the strategically important Strait of Hormuz in an unprecedented show of force as Israel and Iran move towards the brink of war.

What exactly do they plan to do? Getting dragged into a war with Iran would be... well, I personally can't wait to tell all my progtard "friends" on FB "They told me if I didn't vote for Obama, we'd end up going to war with Iran. They were right."

On the other hand, if they plan on attacking Israel... well, that will be very interesting, politically. I mean, unless Congress decides to back it with a declaration of war, it could easily be considered treason.
