There may well be far more serious matters involved here than the blog writer captures.
First, there is a considerable opposition in the high ranks of the military and intelligence against a Bush attack on Iran.
That opposition was reflected in the top-secret national assessment of Iran's nuclear program which was leaked months ago.
The leak was intended to embarrass Bush and put some brakes to his intentions, and it did achieve these things.
The (forced) resignation of Admiral William Fallon, Mideast commander, was also a reflection of this opposition.
The loading of the B-52 with nuclear-armed missiles has never been explained adequately.
According to people who should know, this cannot happen through error. There are too many powerful cross-checks.
Is it possible that these missiles were intended to be part of an aborted attack on Iran's nuclear facilities?
This is the kind of story American papers should be investigating, but they do not, instead report Pentagon blather like this from Robert Gates.
