An F-14 Tomcat takes off from the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is deployed in the Arabian Sea to enforce the "no-fly" zones over Iraq.

U.S. forces are building up around Iraq as the world waits to see America's next move.

Last week, allied aircraft enforcing the southern "no-fly" zone hit eight targets, including the Basra airport on Thursday.
