I hope you are right. You know we have troops in Africa, forget which country, on a peace keeping mission and I am not comfortable with that, either.

Sorry about the triple post. The reply was very slow and I hit it twice.

I think the story is bogus, it takes a lot of ships to move 12,000 troops and their equipment. There would definitely be more noise if a US flotilla of the size needed were operating in the Med.
