I saw this on the news a few minutes ago. I don't think that information like this should be broadcast in real-time. I'm disgusted that the BBC would do this.

Whoever is on the receiving end of their ordinance is in *big* trouble. What fantastic aircraft.

hehehe... Saddam's troops are going to receive their first real taste of "shock and awe" soon. Its one experience they'll remember forever. A B-52 bombing is like nothing on this earth.

I believe the B52s were placed RAF Fairford for the psychops aspects--the Airforce knowing full well the activities would be broadcast worldwide!!

Are you really so naive to think that the Iraqis don't have agents in place around the air bases monitoring departures and forwarding that info to their masters?
