As far as the B-1 nuclear mission, can’t that be reversed? How hard would it be? Drill out the resin, slap on some new hardpoints and you would have a real nice low level nuclear bomber.

Yes, it can be reversed. In fact, they use one of the old ALCM hardpoints for the LITENING/SNIPER pod mounting. However, it took quite a bit of negotiating with the Russians (since the hardpoint was disabled under START) to allow that one hardpoint to be reactivated.

With the new nuke treaty with the Russians we just signed (not a good move either) one interesting part is how bombers count as only one weapon, while they might carry 20 or so. I am wondering if the treaty would then make past agreements regarding hardpoints moot if the bomber is just included in the total.

Maybe the B-1 might be re-nuked if we needed the numbers? (although it could only carry gravity bombs today)

But I am SURE Obama would not allow even that. (traitor)
