Alaska’s Congressional delegation objected to the Air Force’s plan, arguing it would not really save the Air Force money and would harm Fairbanks’ economy.

They kind of acknowledge the real reason behind their objection: It would lessen the amount of federal pork flowing into the state.

Since Fairbanks and Anchorage are in the same state, that argument is shaky.

Be that as it may, I believe the Air Force is best qualified to decide where the birds would be most effective.

If they want to base them at Anchorage, MurKOWski should butt the Hell out.
