Our sources reveal he reviewed with Lebanese leaders US preparations for military intervention should the September presidential election descend into civil violence or elicit an attempt by Iran, Syria or Hizballah to seize power by force.
...
The posting of the Kearsage and a marine force within reach of Lebanese shores is intended as a deterrent and indicator of Washington’s willingness to send the military over to prevent Lebanon’s takeover by Iran or Syria.As well we should.

This move sends a double message.
Not only to Hizbullah/Hamas and Syria but to Iran as well.
It does not take much to reach Iran by air from the Eastern Med.
So, Unless I am mistaken, we now have 4 CSG’s in striking distance of Iran.
That’s something to think about. Eh Mr. Almadidawhatzis...

I get the feeling that chess pieces are being put in place.
Still need another 6 to 8 Active Army combat brigades and another 3 to 4 Active Marine combat brigades just to ease the rotation in Iraq. If we are seriously looking to build up for another front or to take on Iran ... we need about another 12 Active Army combat brigades and 6 to 8 Active Marine Brigades.
Not to mention staffing and fully provisioning the existing Reserve and NG Units as well.

Ok, its Debka, but still something to think about . . .
