Речь шла о неожиданной смене целей для Б-1 и Б-2 во время миссии. У одного из членов команд видимо язык слишком длинный.

U.S. Bombers Changed Targets in Midflight - Crew
By Tabassum Zakaria
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Some U.S. bombers conducting raids over Afghanistan (news - web sites) were unexpectedly ordered to change targets in the middle of their mission, Air Force crew members said on Tuesday.
``It did catch us a little off-guard when we were tasked to retarget all of our weapons on targets that we were not planning on striking when we left,'' a B-1 weapons officer identified as Morning said.
``The entire process is a really dynamic environment, things are changing very quickly out there, so all of the aircraft flying are capable of retargeting their weapons at a moment's notice,'' he said.
Morning and other crew members from B-1 and B-52 bombers and KC-10 tanker refuelers who participated in raids on Afghanistan spoke to reporters from an undisclosed location in a conference call arranged by the Air Force. They were identified only by call signs or nicknames.
Morning said that he flew a mission on the second night of strikes but that bombers who flew on the first night also had their targets changed while in the air.
``The air crew worked together as a team, and we made sure that all of the weapons went where they were supposed to and they were a successful strike,'' he said.
It was unclear why targets were switched because the fliers would not elaborate and defense officials have refused to discuss so-called operational details.
Тады ясно, что имелось ввиду....
А по русски точно бред получался.... :-)
