The trouble is that we're sending 21,500 extra troops to the region anyway. We've already got several carrier strike groups in the Persian gulf and surrounding seas and there is another aircraft carrier on it's way.

Every news source that mentions the USS Stennis sailing to the Persian Gulf says that it is a warning to Iran, and I doubt that aircraft carriers would be very useful for calming sectarian violence in Iraq.

Antiwar.com also has a collection of evidence that we're edging toward a war with Iran.
