Most new aircraft are range rated at maximum gross weight. If you want to go further, just trade bombs for fuel. Besides, range information is usually worth classifying.

Flying all the way from say Missouri to bomb Iraq may sound cool, but it's not the stealthiest thing to do. I can't think of a place on the planet where we don't have a base within 2000 miles. Diego Garcia, Guam, etc. Just look at how many of those"white topped" hangers are being built around the world.
