Department of Remarkably Good Ideas, nuclear weapons edition
- Mar 27, 2008
This just in:
Defense Secretary Robert Gates has formally ordered the Air Force, Navy and Defense Logistics Agency to conduct an inventory of all U.S. nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon-related materials to make sure all items are accounted for...
The order comes in the wake of the discovery last week that four nuclear warhead fuses were accidentally shipped to Taiwan in 2006...
The inventory review, which will involve thousands of items, is due to Gates in 60 days. Pentagon officials said the request was ordered, in part, because this latest incident comes after the August 2007 accidental flight of six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles on a B-52 bomber across the country.
The CNN headline is to the point and priceless:
Pentagon Ordered To Locate All U.S. Nukes
I've been trying to think of an idea that would be even better than this one.
And I have failed.
This is, officially, the best good idea of all time.
Sleep well!
