Are you sure it was a radar site? Did they mention that?

Still, this is a big development. As far as I'm aware this is the first time a B-1b bomber has been used in operations in the No-Fly Zones in 'peacetime'.

I am 15 miles south of Tinker. Does your brother work on Tinker or at the Tinker Business Park right outside Tinker. Boeing folks all over the place around here. He can probably tell you what the flight traffic has been -- I was there earlier this afternoon.

LOL! If it was 2,000 pounder and the target was mobile radar they could've missed by 300 feet and still obliterated 'em. Using a sledge-hammer on a cockroach!

That's what I thought too until this Labour Party official made such a big deal out of France not being the only ones that sold weapons to Saddam -- threw in UK and US. Figured it was a slam at Thatcher and Reagan. What an arrogant Clymer!

I love the B-1's too, my friend.

They are awesome in the air. Just having one fly low over the Iraqis could cause half of their army to give up all by itself!

Thank you, B-1 Bob! ;-)
