Jim Albertini asks a very important question – are the recent spate of B-2 target runs over Hawaii part of a training program for a near-future US attack on Iran?

An Associated Press story of Nov. 22, 2007 reported that B-2 stealth bombers from Guam are using Hawaii for target practice. Specifically, its been learned that B-2s bombed the Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) in the heart of Hawaii Island in September, October and Novemeber and plan to continue to do so on a monthly basis. Hawaii County Mayor, Harry Kim, was unaware of the B-2 bombings but felt officials and the public need to be informed when such activities are taking place. The news reports said the B-2s dropped 2000 lb inert (dummy) bombs at PTA. A check on the internet confirms that 2000 lb bombs carried by the B-2 can be both conventional and nuclear weapon “bunker busters” to destroy hardened underground facilities. Are the B-2s bombing Hawaii training for a possible attack on Iran? 

 Good question, particularly given Mr. Bush’s refusal to join the world of reality regarding the alleged Iranian nuclear program.
