Oh, boy, Rumsfeld's just asking for it...

Rumsfeld is wrong on this one.
There are some things that logic dictates be made INSIDE our OWN country.
Parts for our OWN weaponry is one of those things. If that requires the parts to cost a bit more, then so be it.
In the middle of a war, you don't want spare fighter parts overseas in Japan. You want them in your own back yard.

The country we buy our weapons from will be the country that controls our military.

Maybe "free trader" Mr. Rumsfeld should go buy our weapons in China?
And pray nightly that the guns don't blow up in our boys faces?
Or pray nightly that we don't go to war one day with a country that has up until that day been supplying our weapons?
