Three carrier battle groups are converging on the Persian Gulf. 
The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson has departed Singapore and 
is currently crossing the Indian Ocean, en route to the Middle East. 
The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is also on the move, 
crossing the Atlantic Ocean, reportedly headed toward the Mediterranean.

Reports are also circulating that the U.S. Navy has dispatched ships
containing nuclear armaments to reinforce the battle groups. This will
be the first time since February 2004 that the U.S. has had three
major carrier groups stationed on or around the Middle East.

What's going on? Looks like it's showdown time with both Iran and
Syria. President Bush has said in words of one syllable that Iran 
will not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. He has also demanded 
that Syria completely withdraw its military and intelligence forces 
from Lebanon. Nor will George W. Bush rest quietly until the mullahs 
quit funding Hezbollah.

If it is "showdown time" with Iran (aka Persia) and Syria, it
may be in fulfilment of Ezekiel 38/39. Time will tell

Cheers, Steve...
