U.S. deploys B-52 bombers to Qatar for fight against Islamic State

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
