Is the B1B a fly-by wire?

NO

If so, does it have computer-assist stability like the F117 or B2?

NO

If the controls are hydraulic - what runs the hydraulic pumps engine or

electric?

Hydro from the engines

If any of the above are true, it seems like good reason to bail out
based upon electrical failure.


It's not true, but flying with total electrical failure is tough, and if
they could not get them back online or get the plane on the ground in a
reasonable time. It would be time to give the jet back to the tax payers.
