WASHINGTON (Reuters)

Reuters is confirming debka's 23 February report:

...on Thursday, February 21, a second US Special Forces contingent landed in Tbilsi, capital of Georgia, the day President George W. Bush arrived in Beijing. This surprise step may partly account for the stiff welcome extended him by Chinese leaders and their refusal to back up his policies on missile proliferation and Iraq.
At the same time, a heavy American military buildup proceeds at the Omani base on Masirah Island, at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, and at the big Ali Salem air base in Kuwait, 60 km from the Iraqi frontier. According to DEBKAfile’s military sources, US forces are also streaming quietly to Turkey, Jordan and Israel.
