#2 This can also be disinformation put out by the Saudis ( by US prompt) to cover the real reason for the stepped up patrols; being, to shield the Kingdom from Iranian retribution should a US attack is launched to stop their nuclear ambitions.

#3 Yeah, but we already let it out that there are 2 carrier groups, attack subs, destroyers, and a partridge in a pear tree in the gulf already. If that doesn't give them the jitters, I don't know what would, I don't think they would feel any at ease if we told them this is what it is for.
