There was a 200-reply thread on this a few hours ago that claimed to have been verified by the BBC with video. To my knowledge, that report was discredited (no offense intended to the one who posted it).

Unless this report can be verified with actual video footage, eyewitnesses or confirmed by other news sources, I'll have to remain dubious.

Nevertheless, if the B-52s were to take off tonight on a mission, this would be about the right time for them to do so (currently midnight in Baghdad). If they are just now taking off, they should be there just before sunrise - now that's what I call quite a wakeup call!

BBC News 24 (you can watch a Real Audio video stream at http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/live/now3.ram) says B-52's have not left yet, still being prepared.

Which is closer to Iraq--England or Diego Garcia?

What is the flying time from Diego Garcia?
