The media leaves ALOT of info out or gets alot of misinformation. The media will tell you what they want you to hear.
Yeah, nothing is making sense. It says they were supposed to be decommissioned. If that was the case than can't they bring the qualified personnel to the weapons rather than transporting a WMD to the people, I would hope the military has more common sense than that.

They also said they were loaded onto the wings. If they were in the bomb bay I might understand them being over looked but on the wings I can't buy it. I am just learning about being a pilot but one thing I have learned is that weight plays a key role in the amount of fuel loaded into the aircraft for the flight. Any responsible pilot would say hey, these 6 nuclear cruise missiles on my wings are going to require more fuel for the flight as they are adding weight and drag. Would nobody ask, what do you mean the 6 nuclear weapons on your wings?
