Pentagon to begin sending 6 B-52s to Diego Garcia: US official. B-52s will be available for operations against Iran if ordered, the official said. But the deployment does not signal that operations have been ordered. #Iran #Solemani

Yes, almost in the middle of it.
With aerial refuel, pretty much the only limitation for most planes these days is crew rest.

NEW: 100s of US-led forces are being moved out of a base in Baghdad’s Green Zone to elsewhere in Iraq, such as Taji base, & to Kuwait (but still in theatre of ops), a coalition source says, explaining letter below??. It’s to “thin out” troops in Baghdad. “We’re not leaving Iraq”

Coalition source told me: “We are moving some people out of Baghdad for force protection reasons. We aren't leaving Iraq (or Baghdad, for that matter)”

They're not disputing the letter is real, it's misinterpreted.

Hundreds of US-led forces are being moved out of a base in Baghdad’s Green Zone to elsewhere in Iraq and Kuwait following Friday's killing of Major General Qassem Soleimani but the coalition says they will remain in their theatre of operation

I don't see the misinterpretation? We have thousands of troops in Iraq... of course there will be some "repositioning" necessary before they are moved out of country.

Just in: Responding to questions about a reported letter from TF-Iraq @EsperDoD says there has been "no decision whatsoever to leave Iraq." Says he has seen the letter but doesn't know where it came from. CJCS Gen. Milley notes it is not signed.

Someone went to a lot of effort to fake that letter... after I looked at it a second time, I realize it isn't signed... so could have been an elaborate fake.

#UPDATE: US defense official tells CBS News the next 24 to 36 hours could reveal whether Iran intends to make good on its threats to retaliate.
Primary concern remains Iran's ballistic missiles, they are prepared to move and could be fired in substantial numbers within 24 hours

I went as far as checking to make sure the type name signature was at the half page mark to make sure it was real.
Still didn't notice the non signature
Edit: Maybe a draft that someone snuck a peak at?
