One more try on the B-52/nuke warheads story... looking to resolve one key issue

[warren pease]

I started a thread on this yesterday and, for some reason, it rapidly descended to an argument on the validity of "reversed speech," which is what one blogger claims has revealed to him the true nature of everything from 9/11 to bird flu to the missing nukes. So that thread didn't work out too well.

I'm reposting my OP here in hopes that people like Rick Myers, Hootinholler, Seemslikeadream, nadinbrzezinski, MrScorpio, Wiley50 and others who have AF experience and/or have been tracking various aspects of this story can contribute to my lack of understanding on one key point, which is:

If you wanted to move nukes from point A to point B, and you were someone with the authority to order such a move, why would you specify that the missiles be mounted on the wing pylons rather than shipped in the approved, conventional way? After all, you still end up with the nukes; you just don't alert the entire Air Force and, in turn, everyone from mass media (coverage one day only) to people like us. So why take the risk?

So why weren't they transported in the approved method? Warheads shipped separately in cases specially designed to contain radioactive emissions, missiles secured in the cargo hold of a transport plane like a C-130, all the proper paperwork in order, nothing weird -- just a normal transfer of nuclear-tipped weapons.

If, say, Cheney had wanted to steal five to launch against Iranian targets and keep one for use in a false flag op, he's certainly got the juice to make those things happen. Also, according to seemslikeadream's posts on an older thread, there is a growing contingent within the military, and the AF in particular, of wingnut dominionist extremists with visions of bringing on The Rapture or End Times or some other apocalyptic scenario.

Cheney, through intermediaries, could have tapped into those resources once the nukes were on the ground at Barksdale in Louisiana. At least Barksdale is recognized as a primary staging point for B-52s going to the Middle East, so movement of nukes would be less suspicious there, and far less noticeable than the crazy breaches of protocol required to get them there in the manner apparently used.

Does anyone have a theory on this? Why the surreptitious actions that were bound to start red lights flashing all over the AF nuclear weapons tracking system? Why not just move them according to protocol and, if that's the plan, steal them later?

Thanks a lot for any light you can shed on this.
