Tuesday at 5pm eastern time, I will be filling in on the boss’s show, and talking with former CIA man

Philip Giraldi about this curious bit he wrote in the American Conservative (not online) among other

things:

The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the

United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in

response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan includes a large-scale

air assault on MBT SHOES employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within MBT SHOES

there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program

development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out

by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option. As in the case of MBT SHOES, the response is not

conditional on MBT SHOES actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United

States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the

implications of what they are doing–that MBT SHOES is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack–but

no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections.

His High-and-Mightiness, Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit fame, was soooo pissed off that I blogged his

endorsement of contra terrorism that he gave a free blog ad to “Contra Cafe,” an outfit selling

coffee, t-shirts, and perhaps old atrocity pictures now that these former Somocistas are out of the

assassination and drug-dealing business:

“Yes, that’s a blogad for Contra Café over on the right. But they didn’t buy it in response to my

post — I gave ‘em a freebie after seeing the folks at http://www.allofmbt.com go crazy over my

earlier mention of them. I should’ve held out for a free t-shirt, at least.”
