Just in case the news reports weren't enough to convince you that something big is at hand, we now have icthyological theological backing.

Um... that doesn't make much sense. Neither does the original story: From the NY Times

Cool Posting.

Only problem is that you need an account with the NYT just to read the article.

It's just the standard free registration - worth having just in general, there's good stuff there.

The NYT has their story wrong. 24th MEU is a battalion strength Marine unit. Marine units don't have heavy bombers like the Air Force B-1 attached to them.

That did sound a bit strange to me. I think I may have misread the story - the B1's, I'm assuming, were acting in support of planned 24MEU activities, and not directly associated therewith.
