Air Force Mistakenly Transports Live Nukes Across America
kernel panic attack writes "Surely the late Stanley Kubrick is somewhere smiling at this one. Forbes.com has a story about a B-52 Bomber that mistakenly flew 6-nuclear tipped cruise missles across several states last week.
The 3-hour flight took the plane from Minot Air Force Base, N.D, to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., on Aug. 30.
The incident was so serious that President Bush and Defense Secretary Robert Gates were quickly informed and Gates has asked for daily briefings on the Air Force probe, said Defense Department press secretary Geoff Morrell."
Where did the Anthrax come from that was sent to journalists? Ehemm, well. It wasn't from Saddam. We know it wasn't Al Quida... the story appeared as big news, then they found out the bioweapon stuff was just from the Us military, then the story vanished... Or was it from Saddam, the Anthrax he originally got from the US military and that couldn't be found in Iraq as he sent it to the media? Because he wanted his nation to get invaded, his regime overthrown and getting executed to become a Youtube celebrity? I guess that was the smoking gun right? they knew it was Saddam but it was their own Anthrax?
Or does the US military compare to the rest of the world and attract the smart guys? Who knows. Anywhere, there could be an Us soldier with bioweapons out there. I am so scared. Hope he won't sent it to Commander Taco in an email attachment.
