Hey, no unleashed nuclear holocaust, no foul, right?

It was probably a dry run for a future mission to take out the men's room at the Minneapolis airport.

Give the military a break for goodness sake... It's not as if they accidently put them up for sale on Ebay and sold them to Iran along with F14 parts!!!

Oh, no big deal. It's like leaving your driveway with a cup of coffee still on the roof of your car. Or, maybe it's more like leaving your driveway with your own baby and a box of TNT on the roof of your car. Whatever.

Those WMD's have got to be around here someplace.....

where is Slim Pickins when you need him?

Well yeah, they were drunk. They had to drink vodka to protect their precious bodily fluids. Those commies are crafty, pretending to lose the cold war like that.

Just a little fuckup. They were actually advanced cruisy missiles, headed for Minneapolis. They just took a wrong turn, that's all. Simple mistake, anybody coulda made it.

So they would have taken out a few red states. Big whoop.

What's that astro-diaper lady been up to lately?

As the nation was marking the second year anniversary of the near total devastation of New Orleans, the government was sending nuclear warheads to the City. I'm more worried about our government destroying the homeland than the terrorists attacking it.

Finally, FEMA does something for NOLA.

that would have been sweet,sweet revenge for thecase of the siph that Dick caught from that tranny hooker on Bourbon Street....

Yeah, that's awesome.....6 big-ass cruise missiles on the wings and NOBODY thinks "Hey, what the hell are those doing on there?"

Personally, since today seems to be the day for comments to sound more like psychotic breaks, maybe this is some kind of ScI-Fi Channel-esque plan by some rogue atmospheric scientists. Their mission, a half-baked, last-ditch plan to save the Big Easy from Katrina II, The Reckoning. The dashing young scientist trying to get his pilot's license, the plucky comic relief who'll be doing a "King" Kong ala Slim Pickens before the end, the stacked and librarian-hot academic rival/romantic interest of our hero.....and of course, several swarthy terrorists, determined to use the boms to make a Mega-Hurricane that will make 9/11 look like the Teddy Bear's picnic.

Ur mindz is a-glow with whirling transient nodes of thought, careening thru a cosmic vapor of invention.

Think of it this way, if Bush and Cheney actually nuked New Orleans, they would have to actually do something about the devastation.

Nah, who am I kidding, they would just blame the Democrats and go back to cruising for boys.

@Outstando:

Ditto.

@Lionel Hutz:

Yahtzee!

What's the over/under on how long it takes for some elderly VA guy or angry teen to ask WALNUTS McCain about this only to get 'Little Loose Nukes' sung to beach boys 'Little deuce coupe' in reply?

Flouridation, Mandrake. Cheney is just trying to preserve this nation's precious bodily fluids.

@Lionel Hutz:

Hey, wait a minute.

That AFB in LA is one of the places they "protected" W during 9/11. Maybe this was a plot to hide something he left there...like his mind?
Makes as much sense as anything else.

Since the military tends to take the whole "knowing where our nukes are" thing pretty seriously, someone's head is likely to roll. You know, unlike in other areas of the government when you can have a whole city wiped out and be told you're doing a heck of a job.

@Outstando: Truly a compliment, coming from you, Outstando.

Bartender, give me what he's having.....

North Dakota to Louisiana route? Is Rudy THAT worried about Iowa? Or just a trial run for the Cocktober '08 Surprise?

@fuzzybutts:

Excellent point. Was it while Bush was at the base in Louisiana that Cheney had some unspeakable medical procedure performed on Bush to complete his control, or did he have him just replaced with a robot. The secrets were there, and Cheney must have seen a chance to make sure they never got out. But at the last moment, something went wrong. Terribly wrong, and Cheney could not attack.

One must wonder whether this has something to do with Sen. Craig decision to cancel his resignation. The possibilities are endless.
