Lost Nukes Headed to Iran?Posted on Sep 7, 2007Remember that B-52 that accidentally took some nukes on a joyride? The whole episode doesn’t make much sense to Larry Johnson, a former employee of the CIA and the State Department’s counterterrorism office, who wonders if it’s more than a coincidence that the plane landed at Barksdale Air Force Base, which a former B-52 pilot friend tells him is “a jumping off point for Middle East operations.” (h/t: Pete Zacchino)

So at this point i don’t care where they went or who Does it matter where they went? Or what they do with them? They don’t know better than us people and my family is worth more than that. Don’t know how you feel and don’t care. When the shoe drops will you all say told you so or pray to God for forgiveness? THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THIS IS NOT AN EXERCISE! Put away the conspiracy plots and help the world. You understand and they don’t. Make it count. Peace Brothers & Sisters and Take Care

Disappearing nukes, return of Osama BL looking younger and healthier on video-tape, Pro-Consul Petraeus (a Latin-Roman name BTW) all gleaming with four stars and miltary garb returning to the Imperial Senate In DC like Ceasar from Gaul, the “Emperor” braying the ignorant hordes - - Iran is the mortal enemy of Pax Americana (the Neo Rome). War! War! War! What’s missing here? Intelligence and intellect. What’s not missing? Hubris of “Capitol” of the Empire - - the DC. Which fool would use nukes (that explode with temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius) near the world’s largest oil and gas fields? The contemptible clan of clowns - - Kristol, Kagan, Abrams, Feith,… GHU

Too many orders, eyes, and procedures would have to fail. Did anybody happen to notice the wording on the LT. Thomas response...all “remaining” weapons in the Minot arsenal had been accounted for. The guy was throwing us a bone folks! Did anyone notice that the Ramstein terrorist alert happen at precisely the same time, locking down the base from prying eyes. I don’t know where this leads, who has them, or if and where they will be used. The point is that if three courageous officers hadn’t given up there careers, and maybe much more, by going to the press instead of there superiors, we would have no clue. Please don’t let this story die! Keep talking and maybe those responsible will have second thoughts about there ability to get away with this. Even if they do get away with it, or God forbid see them used, people will be armed with the truth and act accordingly. Peace Brothers & Sisters and take care
