Did SAC or NORAD fall asleep?
How did a B-52’s cache cruise missiles,
Armed with nukes,
Ever leave their base in Minot Air Force Base,
In North Dakota,
For their trip to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana?

How can this happen?

Why not let a terrorist on board to finish the job.

Have we forgotten,
Or we dispelled rumors of WMD’s or Osama bin Laden?

“Our extensive, six-week investigation found that this was an isolated incident and that the weapons never left the custody of airmen - were never unsecured - but clearly this incident is unacceptable to the people of the United States and to the United States Air Force.'

De- De- De says Mencia.

Less than one hundred were demoted to not handle a single nuke,
For Colonel Bruce Emig, the brunt of it, he took.

The A-bomb is to relativity, to Einstein, to Newton,
It is befitting that following quote is applied,


‘The probe into the incident, which ended this week, lists five errors - all of them procedural failures to check, verify and inspect, Newton said.”

Thankfully some of aren’t dead.
