U.S. Plans Military Buildup To Warn Iran
CBS News reported on Monday that the Pentagon is mulling the idea of sending a second aircraft carrier to the Gulf as a warning to Iran.
It will be part of a U.S. military build-up which would begin in January to discourage what U.S. officials view as increasingly provocative acts by Tehran.
The Bush administration refuses to comment on the report. Pentagon spokesman Brian Whitman said the navy moves ships when necessary, but does not talk about specific moves, plans and contingencies.
White House press secretary Tony Snow echoed the same theme.
