Firstly, everybody within a 20 mile radius of the base in England knows that the B-52's have taken off. You can not fly out of there and keep it secret. Secondly, we don't give a rip if Iraq knows. We want them to know. We have softened up the targets, Iraq has yet to put one fighter in the air, and this is all part of the psych ops. If they wanted this done in secret, it would have been done in secret. Trust the leadership, they know what they are doing.
