BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) -- A B-52 bomber was mistakenly loaded with five nuclear

warheads during a flight from North Dakota to Louisiana, a newspaper

reported Wednesday.

The bomber carried advanced cruise missiles as part of a Defense Department

program to retire 400 of the missiles, the Military Times said, quoting

three officers who spoke on condition they remain anonymous because they

were not authorized to discuss the incident.

The officers said the nuclear warheads should have been removed before the

missiles were mounted onto pylons under the bomber's wings for the Aug. 30

flight from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale Air Force Base

in Louisiana, the newspaper said Wednesday.

A Minot Air Force Base spokeswoman, Sgt. Marelise Wood, referred questions

by The Associated Press to the Air Force secretary's office in Washington. A

spokesman there was out of the office Wednesday morning and not immediately

available for comment.

An Air Force spokesman, Lt. Col. Ed Thomas, told the Military Times that the

weapons were in Air Force control at all times and the missiles were safely

transferred.

Air Force policy does not permit officials to say whether nuclear warheads

were involved, Thomas said.

However, he said all nuclear weapons at Minot were accounted for.

''Air Force standards are very exacting when it comes to munitions

handling,'' Thomas said. ''The weapons were always in our custody and there

was never a danger to the American public.''

He said an investigation was launched and the crews involved in loading the

missiles were decertified pending corrective action or training.

Ah, but what you don't know is that this was part of an attempt by

Ernst Stavro Blofeld and SPECTRE to steal a nuclear-armed bomber in a

replay of the earlier failed action described in Ian Fleming's

documentary "Thunderball".

I think the point is that the military was lax enough to let nukes go where

they were not supposd to be. If they can be incorrectly put on B-52's, then

perhaps they could be "diverted" to other locales as well.

What makes you think that? Are you simple-minded "Hannity

of analyzing a topic on its own merits, without slighting people

who disagree with you?

The correct place to put nuclear bombs is on a B-52.

It bothers me quite a bit to know that B-52's are put in the air

unarmed. If they need to respond to an act of war, they have to land,

be reloaded, take off again. By then it's too late. No military

aircraft should ever be in the air not fully armed.

Likewise, the fact alone that we are hearing this story, is

information that can be used as a weapon by the enemy. The military

should NOT be broadcasting this info. It's "loose lips sink ships"

material. The armament or disposition of any particular piece of

hardware during wartime is one of those things that should be secret,

no exceptions.

Goddamn traitors need to be shot this morning. This is the shit that

gets people killed and loses wars.

"Loose lips sink ships" doesn't have an anonymity clause!

My guess is that if we

are ever "attacked"

with nuclear weapons

it will be from an

accidental discharge.

Dropping an unarmed

nuclear weapon is very

similar to a "dirty" nuclear

weapon.

No fission or fusion is

necessary to contaminate

an area

So... some reporter at the Military Times knows the identities of

three military officers who have clearly committed treason. Shouldn't

they be in custody by now?

Poor ol' Jack still can't figure out how to respond to a message without it

looking like his comments are those of the person to whom he is responding.

He does it intentionally.

It's his response that is

usually off base by a mile

Despite frantic attempts by the Bush administration to establish a Stalinist regime in the USA,

America remains America.

There are always patriots who are willing to point out the Emperor's lack of clothes.

It wasn't the military who broadcast it, idiot, it was three whistle-

blowers who didn't want the incompetence of their superiors covered

up. A little thing called accountability.

Bullshit. The improper handling of a nuclear weapon is one hell of an

exception. Or would you like to see one fall into the hands of

terrorists?

Loose nukes sink a lot more than ships. These men are heroes.

Mistake my ass. The nukes were headed for Iran when the crew mutinied

and landed at Barksdale, refusing to start another war.

Yes, it is shocking. They weren't supposed to be there. It shows poor tracking

of nuclear weapons. And why take unnecessary risks?

That damn Blofeld. Someone needs to take him out. And his little cat too.

RT

Why the hell are we telling the enemy, no SCREAMING to the enemy, that

we put B-52's in the air not fully armed? That, if a B-52 is in the

air, it will have to land, be armed, and take off again before it can

perform a bombing mission?

Why don't military commanders recognize the potential for this

information alone to be used as a weapon, before they go blabbing

about it to the press, and by extension, the enemy?

Whoever disclosed this information should be summarily executed for

treason.
