Cheney warns Iran, assures allies on Gulf visit Politics News Reuters.com:

ABOARD USS JOHN C. STENNIS (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney said on Friday the heightened U.S. military presence in the Gulf demonstrated Washington's resolve in a standoff with Iran over Tehran's nuclear plans.

'With two carrier strike groups in the Gulf, we're sending clear messages to friends and adversaries alike,' said Cheney on a visit to the John C. Stennis aircraft carrier off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, a close U.S. ally.

'We'll stand with others to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons and dominating the region,' he said, speaking from a cavernous hangar bay. Stennis officials said 3,500 to 4,000 of the 5,000 personnel aboard were on hand. (Like they really had a choice?)
