1. Possibly by Oct 1? Lots here just don't seem to be absorbing this.

That's just 2 days from now. October surprise indeed.

(...)a group of ships capable of mining harbors has received orders to be ready to sail for the Persian Gulf by October 1.

(...)

According to Lieut. Mike Kafka, a spokesman at the headquarters of the Second Fleet, based in Norfolk, Virginia, the Eisenhower Strike Group, bristling with Tomahawk cruise missiles, has received orders to depart the United States in a little over a week. Other official sources in the public affairs office of the Navy Department at the Pentagon confirm that this powerful armada is scheduled to arrive off the coast of Iran on or around October 21.
