1. Too Coincidental To Be Ignored

2. I call bullshit.

Some of those alleged "mysterious deaths" are from July, weeks before the thing happened, not "within the last 7 days" the way that site says. Furthermore, that site offers no evidence to support the assertion that any of these people had anything to do with bomb handling, and only one of them is identified as a B-52 pilot--that being the one from July. Nor is any evidence provided that any of the deaths listed are anything more than the accident's they're listed as: a handful of the 40,000 odd traffic fatalities that happen every year in this country. One of the deaths was a man who was on leave in Washington when the incident happened, and apparently got killed while hiking along the Columbia river, having been missing since August 30th.

3. Well, you can call bullsh*t, but they're still dead.

The July item was cited as not being part of the list, FYI.
Boy, dare to assign any blame to the terrorists running this country and you get smashed in the mad rush to defend the Bush regime.
:rofl:

6. Right, and if you don't believe that the Trilateral Commission runs everything, you're pro Bush.

Try grounding yourself in some actual reality, and not simply flying to the most paranoid thing you can find.

4. BS is right - Only one pilot - none of the other persons listed at that site

are munition handlers or pilots nor in the munitions unit at Minot. One person listed was a Meteorologist stationed at Eglin, not Minot.

THe man and wife killed in the motorcycle wreck in Caddo County were civilian employees at Barksdale, not Minot.

See: http://www.ktbs.com/news/Married-couple-employed-by-Barksdale-killed-in-motorcycle-crash-5022/

A1C Barrs was killed in a traffic accident in which the driver admitted going 70 in a 25 zone wrecked, and was charged with negligent homicide.

7. 'The Wraith'.... I assume you watch SG1?

odd name.

I've seen more posts from you on this issue than I ever have in the past.

8. Actually, I had this handle long before Stargate Atlantis, though I do watch.

When picking a handle for DU, I selected this because I'm always around, but rarely seen. Obviously, less rarely at the moment. This particular issue irks the hell out of me because it unleashes stupidity in a lot of people, and stupidity--particularly the tin-foil conspiracy kind, like the people who say that no plane hit the Pentagon or the like--strikes me as needing to be rebutted. In this case, I see it as being pretty straightforward, in that there was a proceedural screwup in the handling of six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles. That's really bad, obviously, but it could have been a lot worse, and screwups do happen, without the need for a grand conspiracy, secret orders to nuke Iran, secret orders to nuke an American city, or murders allegedly committed to cover it up. Sometimes a Charlie Foxtrot is just a Charlie Foxtrot.

9. OK.

5. "All were directly involved as loaders or pilots"--

so, why don't I see that information anywhere, then? Just an assertion, with no facts to back it up. Oh, yes--one was a pilot who wrecked his motorcycle--where's the part of the news story that said he flew on that particular transfer to Barksdale? By the way, security police are police officers--they don't load nukes. I must've said this 5 times now on different threads, but this shitball rumor really has legs for some reason. I'm thinking of cutting and pasting. Speaking as one who has spent 16 years married to the Air Force, they don't "off" their people (oooh, maybe my husband's next? Guess we should get him a bodyguard--he knew someone who knew someone who worked at Minot!). C,mon, people--the folks on here spreading this bullshit are all clearly unfamiliar with the military, and you have been watching WAY too many movies. I am embarrassed by the gullibility and lack of critical thinking on display here. Skinner should be sending these to wherever he sends the 9/11 stuff.
