CNN: U.S. preparing for airstrikes in Iraq,decision coming as soon as ‘this weekend’"

Acosta added that Secretary of State John Kerry revealed that the Pentagon has been conducting surveillance operations over Iraq in order to provide the president with a military options should he decide to pursue them.

“We have already taken some immediate steps, including providing enhanced aerial surveillance support to assist the Iraqis in this fight,” Kerry told reporters in London on Friday. “We have also ramped up shipments of military aid to Iraq since the beginning of the year.”

and , in what must be a most ironic move:

the aircraft carrier George H. W. Bush has been routed from N. Arabian Sea to Persian Gulf.
