Morning, y’all. Jebediah Murphy here. Before I get to the main course, did ya know that, according to the Woopster, dog fighting is not that unusual in the Deep South? Watch the video over at Hot Air.
Now, if I was as bigoted as Woopie, I might make a comment that all Blacks with cornrows are dirty and never shower. Would that be exceptable? Maybe if I was a liberal. Of course, I do not think that. I ain’t a bigot. Nice to see the foul mouthed comic off Hollywood welfare after that Slim Fast debacle, eh? Good for the unemployment rate.
Main course. Y’all ready?
A B-52 bomber mistakenly loaded with five nuclear warheads flew from Minot Air Force Base, N.D, to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., on Aug. 30, resulting in an Air Force-wide investigation, according to three officers who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the incident.
The B-52 was loaded with Advanced Cruise Missiles, part of a Defense Department effort to decommission 400 of the ACMs. But the nuclear warheads should have been removed at Minot before being transported to Barksdale, the officers said. The missiles were mounted onto the pylons of the bomber’s wings.
However, the mistake was not discovered until the B-52 landed at Barskdale, which left the warheads unaccounted for during the approximately 3 1/2 hour flight between the two bases, the officers said.
Woopsie! But, y’all know what is coming next, right? Had to get ma ultra hand sanitizer out.
- "That page has gone AWOL" – – surprise, surprise.
- I’m glad I spotted the article before it vanished
- Like everything else in Bushworld, as long as it is scrubbed, it never happened. (they moved it, sparky. No big conspiracy, as some other DUers found out)
- I used to interact with nuke warheads in the Navy….. (though never handling them directly), and the amount of people that would have to screw up for this to happen "accidentally" strains belief. My only reason to not think they intentionally did this is that if they were able to get the nukes that far along, they would have "taken care of" the person who made the initial discovery.. (Bush Co apparently engaged in "disappearing military officers, still. Fake but true!)
- "Accident?" Or, maybe, nefarious plans that weren’t executed? What a convenient pretext ("Iran attacked us") for imposing a military government in the US as previously promoted by Tommy Franks four years ago.
- Um…test run anyone?
- Mistakenly? Yeah…right… (I bet Bush/Cheney called the Air Force personel themselves and said "do this!")
- At least they didn’t go on a practice bombing run or gone on a bombing mission in the Middle East.
- The Officier is at fault Now who gave the officer the order? (Bush? Cheney?)
- No wonder why we can’t control nukes in Russia, Iraq or anywhere else We can’t even take care of the nukes at home. (Wait. There were nukes in Iraq? Goodnes!)
- "Air Combat Command will have a command-wide mission stand down Sept. 14" What does that mean? (a new conspiracy theory a comin’?)
- Getting all their birds and crews in order before sustained combat operations Could be…
Iran, anybody?
<sigh> you know, I really don’t want to be flying when we start a war with Iran. And I’ll be in the air on the 14th and 19th.
- MAYBE—It Means that Bombing Iran Is OFF!! This could be a real good way to tell the Idiot in Chief–sorry, sir, we’re in a command-wide mission stand down until we get to the bottom of this serious and deadly problem!
Additional thought: I bet the Air Force is royally enraged by the games played on 9/11 to "get them out of the way" for the hijackers. It’s beginning to look like MIHOP is not the paranoid exercise some try to make it out to be.
- Hmm, who are we going to "accidentally" nuke?
- Mistake? MY FUCKING ASS!!!! Those kinds of MISTAKES don’t just happen (Maybe it was a present from Rove on his way out?)
In all fairness, there were a few DUers on that thread who understood that a mistake was made, a whopper, considering these were nukes, but a mistake nonetheless. However, more wackjobs then normals, like in one of those Dawn of the Dead movies.
