Staging Nukes for Iran?

Why the hubbub over a B-52 taking off from a B-52 base in Minot,
North Dakota and subsequently landing at a B-52 base in Barksdale,
Louisiana? That’s like getting excited if you see a postal
worker in uniform walking out of a post office. And how does someone
watching a B-52 land identify the cruise missiles as nukes? It
just does not make sense.
So I called a old friend and retired B-52 pilot and asked him.
What he told me offers one compelling case of circumstantial evidence.
My buddy, let’s call him Jack D. Ripper, reminded me that
the only times you put weapons on a plane is when they are on
alert or if you are tasked to move the weapons to a specific site.
Then he told me something I had not heard before.
(Article continues below)
Barksdale Air Force Base is being used as a jumping off point
for Middle East operations. Gee, why would we want cruise missile
nukes at Barksdale Air Force Base. Can’t imagine we would
need to use them in Iraq. Why would we want to preposition nuclear
weapons at a base conducting Middle East operations?
His final point was to observe that someone on the inside obviously
leaked the info that the planes were carrying nukes. A B-52 landing
at Barksdale is a non-event. A B-52 landing with nukes. That is
something else.
Now maybe there is an innocent explanation for this? I can’t
think of one. What is certain is that the pilots of this plane
did not just make a last minute decision to strap on some nukes
and take them for a joy ride. We need some tough questions and
clear answers. What the hell is going on? Did someone at Barksdale
try to indirectly warn the American people that the Bush Administration
is staging nukes for Iran? I don’t know, but it is a question
worth asking.
