"Having the mine sweepers around the Persian Gulf makes sense. Its a strategic area, that's also a choke-point and vulnerable to mining."

Won't argue with that. But in an atmosphere where we suddenly decide we need to build a large number of Patriot missile batteries, increase our troop strength and position 3 carrier groups in the same area gives a pretty strong message.

And it isn't one of peace.
