I think this sounds like Gandalf speaking about Sauron's first motion toward war, and the fact that he was setting his troops in motion earlier than he originally meant. Now, I don't remember whether he said this to Denethor, Faramir, or Pippin, but it was after he and Pippin arrived in Minas Tirith. Again, this is all off the top of my head.
