He’s a clueless geezer. The B-1 has been flying CAS for decades.

The B1 is a long distance stealth bomber... not exactly CAS

How “close” for CAS can a B-1 be when it was designed as a supersonic bomber? It’s like using a Porsche to move furniture. It can do it, but not very well.

I read an interesting account, probably here, after the initial takedown of the Taliban in Afghanistan, about the BONE being very effective for CAS. Lots of payload, lots of loiter time, quick to scoot around the country to deliver a JDAM or whatever. Fighters tend to come up short on the first two.
