How wonderful, they've killed the F-22 and now they want to abort the F-35 which was their solution for killing the F-22. The logic is that no threat exists that the F-15. F-16 and F-22 can't handle.

That's what cost us dearly in WWII and Korea. The rest of the world proceeded with their R&D and we rested on our laurels. This peace dividend will cost lives. It will also cost us our aerospace industry.

When we really need a 5th generation fighter, we can always buy one from the Russians.

I thought the F-22 and F-35 were competing for a contract. When did it happen that both were going to be purchased?

I don't think so. The Russians won't be taking our checks much longer. Our credit's no good.

Not yet. The decision on whether or not more F-22s get built belongs to Congress, not Obowma and not Gates.
