as others have noticed, there is some weird ass stuff going on w/ some US nukes. i am _ashamed_ to say that i saw this on sunday the 9th, and didn't think twice to say anything but "well that sure is a screwup". mb it is b/c i still hold out an underlying hope that no matter how far this thing goes, we won't see the use of even "tactical" nuclear weapons... anywho, this incident is either an ironic and unprecedented (?) mistake, or else it implies bad things to come.
iran is still in the news. looks like they're fighting back, presumably showing that they can dork up our economy... my prediction machine thinks this can be spun as an act of aggression...
in order to reduce the liklihood of some unfortunate precipitating even, we've decided to construct a base right on the iranian border... >cough<>cough<bullshit>cough<... the article notes something that sounds like the last war sales pitch:
[the US has] shifted its focus from Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program to its alleged shipment of IEDs across the Iraq-Iran border as the principal rationale in selling a possible attack
so then this story about insurgents using russian-made armored-piercing (shaped charge) grenades to kill US soldiers... this strikes me as quite similar to the EFP issue, and it sounds like iran is gonna be fingered w/ supplying these weapons...
[tangent]
speaking of russia... been seeing some cold war ish military maneuvers... and disolving govt is always a sign of stability... and the best being a ginormous bomb test... note that it is the 'father of all bombs', which i guess is intented to be more manly than our MOAB?
it may or may not be worth noting that this is a thermobaric weapon... described as inhumane, cruel, etc... also, we've been using smaller versions in afganistan and iraq for some time now ...

last but not least. so apparently some lady in pennsylvania took a picture of the smoke from the flight 93 crash right after it happened. turns out that she is being harrassed and attacked by random and anonymous people; accused of doctoring the picture or using it in a get-rich scam... even though the FBI openly say they "have no reason to doubt" the legitimacy of the photo. sounds possibly similar to a tactic which seems to have been employed w/ some degree of success by scientologists: dead agenting

I'm assuming you're following this nuke story. So... how bout those dead people involved with this? Like that pilot. Hmmmmmmmm... seems pretty suspicious to me.
And wtf, you should post more.
This terrorism crackdown makes me feel more secure.
