I just watched - with total disbelief - a multi-starred Air Force General tell us that conditions in the Air Force have deteriorated so badly that nuclear missiles could be mistakenly loaded on a B-52 bomber headed for an airfield that is used to support Middle East operations. Of course, he didn't say that, but that is exactly what he was suggesting.
There is a slim chance he was speaking the truth, but not likely. This president, key people in his administration, his spokespersons, his cabinet members, his advisers, his press secretaries, his generals... All have lied to us so often and so brazenly that I do not believe a word spoken by any of them.
It is my belief that Bush, or someone high in his administration, had decided to move tactical nukes to a forward air base in preparation for the threatened upcoming attack on Iran, but somebody blew the whistle on them.
And now, a few good men - who most likely were just following orders - are being sacrificed, destroyed, drummed out of the service and jailed to cover up this stunt and the real scumbags responsible.
People high up in this Administration, including the president, have lied to us repeatedly in transparent attempts to justify their unlawful conduct. Many of today's generals have shown they will easily lie, betray their troops, destroy their honor, violate their oath to the American people and the Constitution, and do whatever is necessary to get that next star.
That multi-starred general on TV was right about one thing... things in the air Force have deteriorated badly, not in the rank and file, but at the highest levels, where a gaggle of high-ranking officers who will do and say anything to further their miserable little desk-bound careers.
