This struck me as incorrect....... Strategic bombers being used for...close air support, air interdiction, and maritime operations?

I doubt that a B52 would be used for these tasks.... please correct me if that is wrong.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the warnings (to both US and Israel citizens) to leave Turkey

Brown said the bombers would be able to deliver precision weapons and carry out a range of missions, including strategic attack, close-air support, air interdiction, and maritime operations
