Mr. Salla's conclusion makes a lot of sense to me:
There has been much recent speculation that the Bush administration is about to authorize a massive preemptive aerial assault against Iran.
What gives these reports of an imminent attack against Iran greater credibility is an August 2007 series of purchases of up to 4.5 billion dollars in particular type of stock called 'put options' and 'call options' which are based on a dramatic shift in the U.S. stock market (see: /yw8q4f & /ys2gcj ).
A similar stock market event happened in the weeks before 911 when anonymous investors made great profits when they successfully 'predicted' a dramatic drop in airline and insurances stocks, while also 'predicting' dramatic increases in stocks of corporations producing military armaments.
A more plausible explanation for the mysterious billion dollar investments is that hidden investors have insider knowledge that an attack against Iran will occur before September 21. If an attack occurred along the scale described by emerging reports, then the U.S. stock market would collapse as oil prices escalated dramatically. This would spark a global recession, and cause great hardship to many Americans who would find their investments and jobs at risk.
The current military plans available to the public mention only conventional munitions but it is more likely that some tactical nuclear weapons will be used to take out Iran's deeply buried nuclear facilities. The effect of tactical nuclear weapons to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities would be devastating.
Barksdale AFB is used as a staging base for operations in the Middle East. This is circumstantial evidence that the weapons were being deployed for possible use in the Middle East.
The leaking and discovery of the nuclear armed B-52 at Barksdale was not part of the script. According to a confidential source of Larry Johnson, a former counter-terrorism official from the State Department and CIA, the discovery of the nuclear armed B-52 was leaked. Johnson concludes: "Did someone at Barksdale try to indirectly warn the American people that the Bush Administration is staging nukes for Iran? I don't know, but it is a question worth asking."

I dont know what your all getting your knickers in a twist for, Nuclear War WONT happen, because everyone, no matter their cause, beliefs or hatred for whoever, they all know after that first Nuke is dropped, its the end of the woture will occrld, simple as. No one's stupid enough to launch that first Nuke, no one.
I would not be so confident of that statement. Many in the bush admin are hard core evangelicals who believe that the second coming and the rapture will occur once the bombs start falling.

I really do wish that everyone would use a little logic instead of falling of the abyss saying "the sky is falling, the sky is falling"! Let's at least give some thought to the nuke mix-up being nothing more than a mistake. Afterall, this is the government..and we all know how brilliant those civil service people can be.

My bad. He didn't say 'wipe off the map' he said 'must be wiped out from the map of the world.' Do your research, mate.

6 Nukes were never missing,They are heading to IRAN.
I'm sure everyone has heard about the Six nukes "accidently" flown to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.There has been many discussions here at ATS concerning how it would be possible to do this "accidently".In the end everyone generally agrees its would be impossible to do such a thing on accident.
I believe these weapons are headed to Iran and I'll tell you why.

1. The government let out the info that about the missiles so the spot light was put on the missile shipment. If you're going to hide something, don't call the press.
