Obviously...You are right; we shouldn't have nukes. Obviously, someone screwed up somewhere and, you are right that there would have to be a complete breakdown in the system, which is very possible. The idea that Bush woke up and said "load a B52 with live nukes under the wings and let 'er fly!" just doesn't add up. Everyone says Bush is a buffoon and incapable of doing anything; either he is stupid or he "aint", which is it? Or (and the more likely), one of Bush's handler's (maybe an undersecretary or deputy director to one of those countless secret energy agencies) is behind it. Perhaps "Bown-ie" is getting back at Bush for being fired from FEMA by framing him. The truth is that the public does not know the intimate details behind how this happened. In the interest of National Security, we should not know all of the details about what each person did that screwed up, less the bad guys should figure out just how to load nukes on their Cessna!

The standard way to move nukes on an old B52 bomber is in the cargo bay, unarmed unless one is launching an attack. Allowing just anyone with the right stamp and paperwork to over ride all of our failsafe systems is reason enough to ban nuclear weapons alltogether in the U.S. since we are not responsible enough to be allowed to have them.<BR/>Either that, or the president is not telling the truth, and I don't find that hard to believe. <BR/>Tom SebournTom Sebournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181314524021111122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262301168493662112.post-59247924953289643642008-06-09T12:02:00.000-07:002008-06-09T12:02:00.000-07:00Unfortunately, I see a lot of "dots" that are poor...Unfortunately, I see a lot of "dots" that are poorly connected. I need more specifics and facts, and a lot less assumptions. There are some BIG leaps in conclusions where evidence appears lacking. <BR/><BR/>Further, it is customary (very common in the private sector) that the head of the organization is fired when there is a HUGE screw up. The problem is that the media will loose interest in the story by the time they get to the little guys who were involved. <BR/><BR/>Lastly, isn't the manner and method of moving and handling of ALL nuclear weapons Top Secret? Isn't the protocol for moving and handling them Top Secret? I would hope that all of this is secret which would mean that you and I wouldn't know about any of it like who signs off for what and when. Or where can aircraft with nuclear weapons travel. Or whether someone other than the President can authorize a movement of nuclear weapons. I seriously doubt that the President of The United States of America actually thinks about where every submarine with nuclear missiles is traveling to or from; isn't that why he has generals? I doubt Bush gets up every morning to call a general to move a few nuclear missiles; yet I know as a fact that nuclear weapons move throughout the continental U.S. daily. I mean, how could Bush (the same guy everyone says is an oaf) actually be directly involved? Now, for the little guy(s) that typed up the wrong paperwork, checked the wrong box, etc., he is SCREWED!Greg Sebournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530550845992338383noreply@blogger.com
