Nuclear warheads mistakenly flown on B-52

A B-52 bomber mistakenly loaded with at least five nuclear warheads flew from Minot Air Force Base, N.D, to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., on Aug. 30, resulting in an Air Force-wide investigation, according to three officers who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the incident.

The B-52 was loaded with Advanced Cruise Missiles, part of a Defense Department effort to decommission 400 of the ACMs. But the nuclear warheads should have been removed at Minot before being transported to Barksdale, the officers said. The missiles were mounted onto the pylons of the bomber's wings.
Okay, what I see here appears to be a standard cover story. Or, more specifically, the decommissioning of 400 ACMs is a cover, with the nukes secretly being transported to unspecified locations around the Middle East.

Now, imagine, if you will, a sudden, unexpected, nuclear explosion somewhere in Iraq, close to the Iranian border. Gee, just that one bomb away?

Of course, there are all sorts of holes in this conspiracy of mine. But when you look back at the various rationals for invading Iraq, there were far more holes. Besides, I can drift into lunacy considering I'm talking about BushCo™. And they are certainly not going to be able to use the same old song and dance from back in 2003.

No, it's going to take another, newer, 9/11 style calamity to justify a bombing campaign against Iran. The detonation of a nuclear weapon, apparently the work of Iranian sponsored terrorists, would be just the sort of incident these idiots could wrap their war-mongering fingers around.
