Probably nothing to it. But today I got home from golf at about 11 am. From noon till right now there has been a regular stream of bombers taking off from BAFB and passing north over my house. About 10 so far at approximately half hour intervals.

So, what's unusual about it? The last time I witnessed something like this was during the Iraq War (Bush).

I'm pretty sure we're not going to bomb Liberia. I wonder where they are going.

Maybe they're just practicing their flying.

They're getting ready to deploy to Africa for the War On Ebola.

shite, I logged off the computer a minute ago and just took the dogs out. Another bomber came over at less than 2,000 feet. Really loud. Headed north. BAFB is south of me so they were leaving not coming in.

Finally, Obozo has taken action to benefit the SEC and the USA.

Well, the flights have finally stopped. But I don't see the reason for bombing Ark. Missy State is the problem this week.

Maybe they were headed to the other CONUS B-52 base.

They are probably going to bomb Georgia to stop all the Georgia fans from complaining about the holding penalty during Gurly's 54 yard touchdown run that cost Georgia the game against USC.

I'm glad the B-52's are at Barksdale. Our servicemen and women deserve a good concert every now and then.

U-2 would've been better, though.

I bet Obama reads the OT and has realized that Ebola is spreading and will soon kill over half the world population and the only way to stop is to sacrifice Liberia and nuke the it. It is like that scene in Armageddon where they nuke Houston (except Africa is an improvement to Houston).
