USA plans to attack Iran from October 21st ?

Are the USA planning to attack Iran? According to news stories, the deployment of a major "strike group" of ships is prepared to head for Iran's western coast. The ships include the nuclear aircraft carrier Eisenhower as well as a cruiser, destroyer, frigate, submarine escort and supply ship. Naval forces already received their formal PTDOs ('prepare to deploy orders') with a date set for being ready to go at October 1st:

• "War Signals?" (The Nation)
• "What Would War Look Like?" (Time Magazine)
• "Senior intel official: Pentagon moves to second-stage planning for Iran strike option" (The Raw Story)

Is this the next stage on the way to the proclaimed goal of establishing a New World Order and New American Century ?

Only 4 weeks to go until we are amidst the next major world crisis? Bush and his crownies are playing with the nuclear fire. Are they aware of the consequences?

Are we???
