ACC orders commandwide standdown Friday
By Bruce Rolfsen - Staff writer

On Sept. 14, flight lines will be very quiet at Air Combat Command bases.

The entire command — about 100,000 active-duty airmen — is standing down training flights and many other operations as part of a command-wide safety day.

Command boss Gen. Ronald Keys ordered the Sept. 14 safety standdown in the wake of the Aug. 30 nuclear incident at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., in which six cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads were loaded onto a B-52H and then flown to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., without anyone on the ground or bomber realizing the nuclear weapons were on the plane. It was not until the B-52H was parked at Barksdale that ground crews discovered the cruise missiles were carrying real warheads.

Command spokesman Maj. Tom Crosson said wing commanders would determine how their units review operations and safety procedures and checklists.

Just how serious Keys takes the lapse of regulations at Minot is reflected in the fact that the safety stand-down is the first commandwide safety day in recent memory. In the past, the command has singled out specific types of aircraft for safety days and in 1997 the Department of Defense held a departmentwide safety review day.

...So the CIA director is issuing warnings that attacks in the U.S. resulting in large casualties are likely... http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/cia_hayde...7/30766.html?s=al&promo_code=39AB-1

Hayden's address appears to be part of a coordinated White House public relations campaign leading up to the 6th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks next week.

Hayden also told the Council that:

"Al-Qaida has protected or regenerated key elements of its homeland attack capability. That means safe haven in tribal areas of Pakistan, operational lieutenants, and a top leadership engaged in planning ... al-Qaida's success in planting operatives in this country, is less certain."

The CIA director warned:

"We assess, with high confidence that al-Qaida is focusing on targets that would produce mass casualties, dramatic destruction and significant aftershocks."

...And the Air force is standing down for a day...someone's full of shit.

oh and all the boys in this thread made such a compelling argument for nukes on planes. I'm shocked that I didn't see their points before and I'm changing my whole opinion on the matter.

Some I worked with had no clue but others were well aware of their incapabilities. Which can be frustrating I imagine.

I know right, I mean what's wrong with accidently flying nukes over civilians, and killing innocent people in other countries? We should really give them a break, it's not like those are big screw ups or anything.
