Read Larry Johnson’s analysis:

• B-52s deploying to Barksdale is not unusual.
• The only time a plane has nukes on it is when it’s on alert, or it’s tasked to move it to a specific site.
• Barksdale AFB is a staging base for the Middle East.
• Someone on the inside obviously leaked the information, as mishaps with nukes are kept WELL under cover until well after they are resolved.
• Why would someone leak this if it were an honest accident?

Mr. Johnson is far more circumspect that I am. The Bush admin not only has plans for a nuclear strike on Iran, it is their preferred tactic.
