Barksdale Nukes: Are the Neocons
Attempting to Frame Iran?

It’s
a crazy theory, but one that holds water in the up-is-down era
of Bushzarro.
Larry
Johnson, who worked for the CIA and the Department of State’s
Office of the Coordinator for Counter Terrorism, looks behind
“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,” an event he equates to “getting excited
if you see a postal worker in uniform walking out of a post office.”
In order to get to the bottom of the seemingly mundane event,
Johnson “called a old friend and retired B-52 pilot”
and asked him about it. “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.”
“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?” muses
Johnson. “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.”

Johnson gives the benefit of the doubt, even though this can
be dangerous while walking upright in Bushzarro world. “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.”
Not a question that will be asked by the compliant corporate
media, so fond of paving over neocon lies and even, most notably
in the case of the neocon shill and traitor Judith Miller at the
supposedly “liberal” New York Times, doing somersaults
in the service of mass murder.
Blogger Eric
Garris hopes not. “We need responsible officers that
are unwilling to let our leaders get away with dragging us closer
to war,” Garris writes in response to Johnson’s wondering
out loud.
Certainly an admirable sentiment. But not one firmly hitched
to reality, as these same officers allowed the neocons to take
over the Pentagon. In normal, non-Bushzarro times, these same
officers, moved to outrage, would run down the neocons lurking
in Pentagon halls, tar and feather them, and ride them out of
town on a rail, as our forefathers did to snake oil salesmen and
other such scalawags.
Now? Far too many military men and women fret over career advancement
and a big fat handsome pension, same as “journalists”
in the corporate media make sure to not report the news—that
is to say, news not distributed by neocons—for fear of losing
their condos and beamers.
As for the former, it really is too bad. Because if the neocons
manage to trick them into shellacking Iran, no shortage of them
may not live long enough to collect on the princely pension.
