#1 I seem to recall something about another airbase in the region having 14 or 16 climate controlled hangers.

#2 I checked.. There are at least 12 suitable bunkers within 3 hours of Baghdad.

#3 Found this item from the L.A. Times on Globalsecurity.org:
The Air Force has installed as many as five B-2 hangers on Diego Garcia. The hangers are key facilities because they enable air crews to maintain the B-2s' radar-evading skin.
We saw the pictures of two shelters that had been completed, but that was back in December. They have had plenty of time to put up more.
