Read about the expensive weapons that were the beginning of the part of the US in Libya (Iran, arsenal)

Why have we never heard this story from our media? This flight took place March 21 and 22 and we haven't heard word one of it from the American media. Why would this be?

Read the article to find out so much about our number one first battle weapon that has been used more than once since 1989 when they were first put in the arsenal. This article talks about the attack in Libya and has lots of good info about the weapon and why the Libyans couldn't have shot it down if they had been able to see it. Honestly, there is some very interesting information about the B-2 to be found here. It was used for the first attack on Libya by the the US.

Very impressive weapon. Now when will it be operational. It is a weapon of the future and just isn't ready yet. This sounds a lot like trying to make the electricity producing "machines" of the future our only hope and throwing away the present methods until the new ones are ready. You know what the people in the White House are saying about oil and coal, our only real sources with the necessary capability to keep us going right now.

Ok, my link shows that the three B-2 bombers delivered 45 two ton bombs in one trip to Libya and dropped them with guidance systems on the Libyan military forces a couple of days before the smaller planes took over. Since they were to limit the forces available to Qaddafi immediately they didn't have to wait till yours were developed.

Yep, they flew 25 hour missions and returned home safely. Of course, they had to be refueled once but their payloads are so much superior to your weapon of the future and they didn't need a carrier to get them close.

I watched yours, did you read any of mine? If so which is the weapon of right now and which years off? Which one could Obama use to start things off in Libya. Hell, they don't even know for sure yet how they will land those things on carriers, only that they want to do so. You have to dance with the one you brought to the dance and the B-2 could go about any time you need it while your plane is still a drawing board weapon.

Do you have any idea what 45 two thousand pound bombs could do? Did you see in the non-American media source that those things can haul one 5000 pound bomb that will go up to 30 feet into concrete? I think that if our President wanted to do what we need to do two of those things could make a huge hole in Iran if the second one could hit the hole made by the first one. Maybe someone needs to tell Obama about the weapons we have available at the present time.

Six hero pilots return home safe and sound from a bombing mission to Libya which saw them in the cockpit for an incredible 25 hours.

Why are they called hero pilots? They did what was asked of them. Isn't a hero usually classified as someone who goes above and beyond what is expected/necessary?

If a dentist stops my toothache, I don't refer to them as a hero.
