The pieces continue to fall into place. We have to go through with removing Saddam now. If we don't, it will make us look weak and we'll have another 9/11 within weeks.

Peace campaigners witnessed the arrival of the bombers. One commented: "It gives you a feeling like a stone in your throat and an even bigger stone in your heart. This may as well be American soil here." What ungrateful dirtbags. Had it not been for America, it would have been German soil.

"American B-52 bombers have begun arriving in Britain, as Iraq claims six civilians were killed and 15 others injured in the latest round of US and British air raids inside the no-fly zone."Yeah, they were baby milk factories disguised as missile batteries and military communications centers. Saddam is rerunning propaganda....the clock has almost run out.

I know I don't really have a need to know, but I can't help wondering why the B-52's would be based in England. They could make it to Iraq from there, but they'd have to have overflight clearance from uncooperative countries (i.e. Germany and France). Any other route would be a zigzag.
Maybe they are there for other purposes.

A comment on the strategic value of B-52 bombing. Kenneth Pollack in The Threatening Storm reports that the pin-point bombing done by B-1s etc did not have a whole lot of effect on Iraq's (or Serbia's) commitment to fight. But it was the B-52s, with their heavy bombs, that destroyed the will to fight. Their arrival into Theatre is a good sign.
