“On Sept. 3 a whistle-blower said nukes stored at Dyess AFB, TX were being transported SC.”
Dyess is home to B-1s. B-1s would be armed with strategic air launched nuclear weapons in most instances if nuclear orders were given. They might have some tactical nukes there but I’d assume more likely strategic. The only bases in S.C. are Shaw AFB which is an F-16 base and JB Charleston which flies C-17s. F-16s do not fly with strategic nukes. I simply can’t see the reason to transfer what are likely strategic nukes to a base that cannot use them.
I have no personal knowledge about different kinds of nukes and I don’t know if this is a fact but I believe I heard that the company line was there wasn’t supposed to be nukes at Dyess.
The curious thing to me was the timing of everything. The whistle-blower provided the info BEFORE Lindsey Graham made his statement Charleston Harbor being a target for a nuke attack if Syria wasn’t attacked. That’s curious. Then the #1 and #2 guys over the nukes get removed from their positions.
The MSM hasn’t covered a possible transfer of nukes under odd circumstances but it has covered the odd circumstances under which the #1 and #2 guys got turfed. The shady goings on surrounding the Minot AFB nukes got coverage in ‘07 but this is buried. It just doesn’t smell right to me.
