Anyone else besides the Moonie paper see this happen?


What is that suppose to mean? Bears have been documented making flights
to the UK & carrier group in the Pacific last year. Yes, it's happening.
The wise crack on the Times is not needed.

"Just be glad those booms are from American fighters and not enemy
ordinance, ah I do miss the good old days with Soviet tu-95 bear
bombers encroaching on our airspace with a belly full of nukes and our
