When Was the Last Time We Had a "System-wide Stand-down"

As we hear that Cheneyburton is gearing up for an excuse to slam Iran with a Big One, we also find Osama bin Hidin' is about to release a new Bu$hCo cheerleading video.

You may remember the last one was a plea not to throw him in that briar patch and please not $elect Dear Leader preznit in 2004.

Of course, millions of Rethuglicans heard Osama's embrace of John Kerry as a good reason to throw the rascal in the briar patch, $electing Dear Leader, and ensuring the hunt for Al Qaeda remained in Afghanistan and not in the bin Laden harem in Riyadh or the Office of the Vice-Preznit of the United States.

Curiously, Military Times has upgraded the number of nuke-loaded cruise missiles that went on a joy ride this week to six. As a result,

...Air Combat Command will have a command-wide mission stand-down Sept. 14 to review its procedures in response to the mistake. Even units without oversight of nuclear weapons will take part in the stand-down...

Does it seem wise to have a "command-wide mission stand-down" just when Al Qaeda seems to be all touchy-feelie again? Wasn't there a system-wide stand-down order on September 11, 2001? Is this wise?
