Tankers can use the fuel for their own engines?

Then you now have planes that can haul bombs/nukes/bio weapons around the world almost without refueling.

They aren't buying tankers to use as tankers. They are using tankers as long range bombers.

Hmmm... Would make some hellacious fuel/air bombs when properly rigged with on board explosives too.

Doesn't have to, ignite a couple thousand gallons of JP over a civilian area you can deplete all the oxygen and suffocate everything breathing below it. Times 100? Might account for the inordinate number ordered.
