I don't think the B-52 is "too long in the tooth" the fleet is still ready.
The B-1B was designed as a Nuclear bomber!
I don't know about the B-2...
Oh and we've still got ballistic missiles not to mention the boomers. This just seems a bit excessive that we need a new Nuclear bomber...Some company (probably Lockheed or Boeing) is going to be thrown a huge (and questionable) bone at the american Taxpayers expense.
