Default US makes nuke 'mistake'

Washington - A B-52 bomber flew the length of the United States last week mistakenly loaded with nuclear armed cruise missiles, a US military official confirmed on Wednesday.

The mix-up was reported to President George W Bush after the nuclear warheads were discovered when the aircraft landed at Barksdale Air Force Base Louisiana, the official said.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said as many as six cruise missiles loaded on to the plane were found to have nuclear warheads on them by mistake.

What?!?

How can they do that by mistake? Do is it hard to tell the difference between them and normal missiles? They should have warnings, like cigarettes - "This missile has a nuclear warhead and will damage your health"

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with their experiance!

Or how about "The use of Nuclear Warheads is harmful to Pregnant and Breastfeeding women"

They are American, they would probably have asked them to be replaced with ones with a nicer message on!
