The Washington PostPullout of B-1 bombers shows how an outgunned Iran is keeping the U.S. on edge

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFolks, welcome back to BBN USA! As we told you earlier, Iran was mocking the U.S. economy. Well, there's a fresh wrinkle!
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Washington Post reports the pullout of B-1 bombers shows how an outgunned Iran is keeping the U.S. on edge.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's the headline, and I love a headline!
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChip, the S and P is still near seven thousand eight hundred. Nobody is on edge except people who read newspapers.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVera, the data doesn't say why the bombers moved, so everything past the Post's report is opinion. Strip mall opinion, but opinion!
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy opinion is that a bomber leaving is a gift. Less traffic on the runway. Very bullish for runway snacks.
