70 punished in 'accidental' B-52 flight

This Col. Bruce Emig appears to be the only named offender - could it be that these nuclear nutjobs, who might start World War III, want to cover their backsides by staying anonymous?

4 Colonels Lose Their Air Force Commands
65 Others Also Pay For Nuclear Error

Four Air Force colonels have been relieved of their commands and more than 65 lower-ranking officers and airmen have been disciplined over a series of errors that led to a B-52 flight in August from North Dakota to Louisiana with six nuclear-armed cruise missiles that no one realized were under the plane's wing........................

Scott Ritters empassioned speech makes the assumption that Iran has a nuclear bomb capable of hitting USA. Was it the UN or AEA who say that Iran does not have that technology. Is this just a veiled form of "yes they have weapons of mass destruction" but in a "protest" guise ?


Even Dick Cheney says Iran hasnt got a nuke

Would you buy a pre-owned nuke from Dick Cheney?
You didn't listen to what Scott Ritter actually says. He says a major US city will be nuked but that doesn't mean necessarily by Iran.

There are many other nuclear armed states in the world who - as the UN Security Council has been knobbled by the US, UK and Israel - would consider the use of nuclear weapons to be breaking all the rules - which of course it is - and since we live in a lawless world they would make a very public retaliation to let the US know they couldn't do that.

That could spark the retaliation of which Mr Ritter speaks and quite possibly a world war.

Please don't make assumptions.
