Not to worry, it turns out. The triggers were for a bomb design that hasn’t even been deployed for more than 40 years.

“Dude. We can’t ship helicopter batteries without screwing it up. You want me to believe that Bush was behind 9/11?”

The planes must have been intended to miss.

It is things like this that I point out to people who argue to me that there is a massive conspiracy and the highest levels of the US government is involved.

[...] colombiano explicar como 30Kg de urânio ficaram passeando debaixo de suas barbas. Não que a perda de urânio e outros materiais radioativos, mesmo por superpotências “responsáveis”, seja algo realmente inédito… [...]

HA! What if it was a Vista glitch? The headlines would be great:

“Windows Starts Nuclear War
‘Oops, sorry’ says Gates, from Microsoft bunker in undisclosed location.”

Dear US,

No sweat, these things happen. BTW, those tankers of Chinese industrial solvents at Long Beach? We had a Vista glitch with the manifests, and there’s just a teensy possibility one of the tankers is full of VX and sarin instead. We’ll get back to you on this.

What, nobody is gonna say it? OK, fine – at least they didn’t fire a nuclear missile at Taiwan by mistake.

As the old Soviet joke goes: and look what did, lieutenant Ivanov, look what you’ve done now! Taiwan – OK, hell with Taiwan, who cares; but being drunk on duty in a nuclear submarine? You can kiss that promotion goodbye, comrade.

I wonder how long it took for clever engineers in Taiwan to reverse engineer those things.

“This is the one thing we didn’t want to happen.”

Wait, we shipped an eight year old boy with the warhead components?

I think it’s mostly the latter. Take the most arrogant branch of the US Military—the Air Force. Add an incompetent Commander-in-Chief, with loyalists stuffed at every level. Get “mistakes” like this one.

Dear China,
