Nothing new, worse things have happened.

As the movie saying goes. " I don't know what's scarier, losing a nuclear weapon or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it. ... "

I read this a few days ago.. Similar topic.

5 times we almost nuked ourselves by accident
- Travis Air Force Base, 1950 — Broken Arrow
- Fermi 1 breeder reactor, 1966 — Faded Giant
- Tybee Island, 1958 — Broken Arrow
- Idaho Falls, 1961 — Faded Giant
- NORAD, 1979 — NUCFLASH (almost)

Fucking Brilliant. The only thing the President has to carry on his person is an orange colored credit card.

I know he was more interested in massageing Monica Lewinski's tonsils with his Lyndon Johnson, but how hard is it to keep a credit card in your pocket even when your pant are half down.

Like I said don't blame the prez, this kind of shit happens all to often. Really would be a surprise if you guys nuked one of your own cities by mistake !

Why would our (USA) government operating in a slip shod manner be a suprise to anyone?
That is how D.C. operates today.
All bumble and bluster.

On the other hand, it won't be a surprise if we nuke one of your cities on purpose.

Yep. Sometime after next July when Obama pulls the US troops out of Afghanistan I expect the Tallywhackers to take over Pakistan and then the Indians will instantly make good on their policy of nuking pstan to prevent the Taliban from possessing nukes.

Yeah well thats what the US thought going in Iraq and Astan. We'll walk in bam and we'll walk out. Almost ten years out now, nothing has changed, thousands dead and going back licking therr wounds.....Again.
