Are B-52's stationed locally? I thought they were many hours away from the war zone. And are they normally used to drop a single 250 kg bomb? That's not heavy lifting. I suspect that this journalist is flagging the wrong aircraft. But I could be wrong.

They are loitering on station for several hours at a time, flying out of Diego Garcia. Actually, it is very effective use of the aircraft.
