I think Dick Cheney is hiding one still.
As a public service, I will not that today is the last scheduled day for the TOPOFF Terror Drills.
Looks like we may have avoided another "go-live terror event" like September 11, 2001, readers!
All due to the blogs!
"Air Force expected to fire officers over nuclear-armed flight; Because of lapses, warheads were not secured for hours" by Pauline Jelinek/Associated Press October 19, 2007
[This is all garbage because this never never should have happened at all]
WASHINGTON - The Air Force is reportedly planning to fire at least five officers for an incident in which nuclear-armed missiles were mistakenly loaded on a B-52 bomber and flown across the United States - the worst known violation of nuclear security rules in decades.
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, are to be briefed today on the disciplinary plan and other results of an Air Force probe into the incident.
Gates said yesterday that officials want to reduce the chances of another such incident "to the lowest level humanly possible." But it "would be silly" to promise it won't happen again, he said at a news conference with Mullen.
[So GATES is IN ON IT ALL!!!!!
All these years and something like this NEVER HAPPENED!
So Gates is a LYING ENABLER then!]
Asked whether they could assure the American public that the nation's nuclear stockpile is secure, Mullen said he wanted to see the report before making a judgment.
"But certainly being at a point where we can assure everybody that we have control of these weapons . . . is where we absolutely have to be."
[If you don't have control of them, then WHAT is all the SECURITY and MONEY for, a-hole?
WARNING to the AMERICAN PUBLIC:
You are being SET-UP for a FALSE-FLAG NUCLEAR EXPLOSION in an American city so that these CRAZY NEO-CONS can invoke MARTIAL LAW and a permanent DICTATORSHIP!
WAKE UP, America!!!!!]
Two Defense Department officials said earlier yesterday that the Air Force investigation found long-established procedures for handling the munitions were not followed, and one of the officials said it recommends five or more officers be relieved of their duties.
Senior Air Force officials were still reviewing the report, though it was unclear whether any changes were planned.
In an embarrassing incident that lawmakers called very disturbing, the B-52 mistakenly armed with six nuclear warhead-tipped cruise missiles flew from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., with the missiles mounted under one of the bomber's wings, and no one noticed for hours.
The officials declined to say what procedures were not followed. But the mishandling in August would have required a series of lapses by a number of people in order for the weapons to be inadvertently removed from a storage bunker, mounted on the B-52, misidentified on a flight manifest, and flown across the country without anyone noticing. The plane with the missiles also sat on a runway for hours after arriving in Louisiana before the breach was known.
[IMPOSSIBLE!!
MSM news media LIES and COVERS-UP CRIMES!
This sounds so like the STAND-DOWN ORDERS on 9/11!!!]
In all, 36 hours passed before the missiles were secured, officials said.
The Air Force said there was never any danger to the public because the weapons are designed with multiple safety features that ensure the warheads do not detonate accidentally.
[And therefore, even if a terrorist "steals" one, it should NEVER GO OFF, right?
So IF ONE DOES, WE WILL KNOW, shitters!!!!!
FALSE-FLAG, INSIDE JOB!!!!!
So DON'T EVEN TRY IT!!!!!!]
