Another link with some tidbits for the post mortem

The six nuclear warheads were not meant for use in theatre operations against Iran. This is obvious because if they were then they would have been deployed via the proper procedural routes without the need to hide anything. Besides, there are already theatre-level nuclear weapons ready and armed in Europe and the Middle East for any possible Middle Eastern mission.

There are 2 plausible scenarios that I can conjure an 1 is that they were indeed intended for deployment against Natanz or some other hardened Iranian facility. The basis for this rests in the open dissent that has been expressed by General Petraeus’ boss, Admiral Fallon, regarding belligerence toward Iran. I deduce from Fallon’s stance that the Navy will not be participating in an act of aggression toward Iran. It can easily be established as an illegal order and quashed when the CENTCOM commander happens to agree with that point.

Perhaps the AF officers also deduced this on their way to Barksdale?

The other scenario is that this was a sabre rattling ruse to alert Iran, Russia and China that we don’t necessarily need to develop new bunker busters to effectively neutralize Iran’s ace in the hole, Natanz.

Either way, the facts are not likely to come out in our lifetime. I still don’t understand how most of America can sleep at night with such a transparently false cover story.

What shall we say, shall we call it by a name
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin
Water bright as the sky from which it came
And the name is on the earth that takes it in
We will not speak but stand inside the rain
And listen to the thunder shout I am, I am, I am, I am

Name that song
