Iran may not yet know about the drones, so please don't forward this link to Al Jazeera.The US Navy has unexpectedly dispatched a fourth aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf, along with a fleet of underwater drones in what is being considered just the latest move in a series of escalations leading towards a potential war with Iran.
The deployment of dozens of small, unmanned submarine-like watercraft was confirmed by the Los Angeles Times this week, which cites military officials speaking on condition of anonymity.

The same reader, thank you, also sent me this link: Syrian leaders are ready to use chemical weapons if cornered. I would say "they" are cornered.
But I digress. The story is NOT Syria. The story is NOT Israel-Iran (although it will be a huge story when it happens). The BIG story is elsewhere.
Gaza Strip-Yemen-Lebanon-Kuwait-Turkey/Kurdistan-Iraq-Libya-Egypt-Syria .... do you notice a trend, and, worse, do you notice the Mideast name missing? Drum roll....
Missing in that list: Saudi Arabia. I don't know how much folks along the US beaches are paying attention to what's going on over there, but I can tell you that this is a huge story in the coffee shops in Turkey. I remember hearing stories of the French helping the US revolutionaries in 1776, or thereabouts. I don't think there's a lot of love lost between the 2,300 Saudi princes and the tens of thousands of revolutionaries waiting for their moment.
