Why don't you re-read your original post...something about how a B-1 or B-2
could do the job of a whole airwing of F-18s...or some such whizbangery.

First it wasn't my original post, and second, I was replying to your comment
below:

ice- (A trivia question -- how many CV sorties does it take to cover the
same number of DMPIs that ONE B-1 with a full load of SDBs can cover?
BRBR

One F-18, after the B-1 gets bagged....

I also pointed out that so far its been the f-18s that have gotten bagged.

Is there anywhere there where I intimate that a B-1 could do its (conventional,
limited war) job without air superiority/supremacy?
