B-2 Stealth Bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in West Central Missouri could be headed for action in the Middle East. Reports say Defense Department officials are considering moving the bat-winged bombers to a remote base in the Indian Ocean. That would cut mission times in half. Whiteman spokesman Lieutenant Matt Hasson would not confirm there are any plans to send any planes anywhere but he says they are capable. Hasson says if the bombers went anywhere,it would only be on a temporary basis.
