re: The B1 bomber program was a horrible failure.



Not exactly, the B1 is a long range nuclear delivery platform. The B52 was used for conventional "carpet" bombing in Iraq due to it's ability to carry lot's of small weapons. The B1 would have made no sense during the Iraqi conflict unless we had gone nuclear.
