Something fishy about the whole Moria reconquest project?

In The Council of Elrond, Gloin gives a short account of the decision to return to Moria, before moving on to describe an embassy to Dain from Sauron. It implies some relationship between the two episodes. Gloin says:
...a shadow of disquiet fell upon our people. Whence it came we did not at first perceive. The result of the disquiet is disatisfaction with Erebor, and the decision to attempt a reconquest of Moria. I don't believe that Gloin explains any conclusion as to whence the disquiet came, though the "at first" bit suggests that an explanation did eventually emerge. There doesn't seem to be much other reason for Gloin to preface his remarks about Sauron's overtures with the Moria material. So why are the two presented as if connected in Glons account? Was the Re-occupy Moria whispering campaign a Sauronish plot, rather than a simple pragmatic re-expansion? And if so, what was Sauron up to?
Disclaimers: The words of noWizardme may stand on their heads! I'm often wrong about things, and its fun to be taught more.... Feel free to meddle in the affairs of noWizardMe by agreeing or disagreeing (politely...) with my posts! I may not be subtle, but at least I'm usually slow to anger...

Much about the dwarves is unknown, I think.
