That very topic is being discussed right now on the Aviation Stack Exchange: http://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/35771/is-it-corr...

The B-1 can not even reach Mach 1 at such a lot altitude. It's maximal operating velocity (at any altitude) is Mach 1.25.
People tend to really underestimate how much harder it is to go faster once you reach 0.90 or so, especially at low altitudes.
Another story that I've heard is that a B-1 flying at operational altitude (200 ft above ground level, mach 2) was often as effective as dropping munitions.
