B-2 stealth bombers appear to be on the move hours before Trump expected at White House

Six B-2 stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri appear to be en route to a U.S. Air Force base in Guam, according to flight tracking data and voice communications with air traffic control.

The bombers apparently refueled after launching from Missouri, suggesting they launched without full fuel tanks due to a heavy onboard payload, which could be bunker-buster bombs.

The B-2 can carry two 15-ton bunker-buster bombs—which only the U.S. possesses. Experts say the bombs could be critical to targeting Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear site: Fordow.

Not very stealthy.

I read that they have F-22 escorts. Only the best for them.

Would US entry into this war invite Pakistan, China, Russia, Turkey to join the fun? I’d rather see Trump make sure those bozos don’t get itchy trigger fingers.

Iranian leaders are going to force Trump to use the bombers. They will not be surrendering.

Then they may just have to die. Actually, they may be hoping to die in anticipation of 72 virgins in the afterlife. That's what makes these people so dangerous.

“Iranian leaders are going to force Trump to use the bombers. They will not be surrendering.”

Israel is doing fine on its own. In all the planning they have done, I would be pretty confident that they solved for the nuke sites and how to destroy them.

Well, we spend trillions for these military technological defense machines so let’s see America get its monies worth. “F-Iran” and “Bomb Iran” aren’t just old bumper stickers anymore. The problem is what comes after. That takes smart critical thinking not machines.

The video of those bombs blowing up the site is going to be epic. They’ll circulate around the world nonstop. They’ll become memes.

Part of me thinks Trump is using his showmanship to advantage. He’ll stop short of selling seats to watch, but anticipation is building.

A limited mission of dropping those MOABs is the right thing to do, IMO, for a variety of reasons.

Normally I'd agree. But the aircraft clearly aren't going to be shot down over the U.S., and there is value in the Iranians seeing the windup before the punch needs to be thrown.

If you want to bring maximum pressure on them, letting them know the bombers may be coming is one way of doing that. After all, an F-22 escort over the U.S. seems a bit ostentatious, as if they want word to get out.

Thrilling just to see the picture and I left out “lining UP” for takeoff?
