McCain: F-35 among the ‘Great, National Scandals’

I guess not enough of the F-35 contracts are in Arizona.

You are right that we have way too many Cabinet Secretaries. Why do we have a Defense Department AND Homeland Security ? Add to that Veterans Affairs, which should clearly be folded back into Defense/War.

[Secret Agent Man]

guessing black lesbian right there.

[Farmer Dean]

Even at 200 million,it would be worth it to have McCain ride one into the ground.

I.A.M.

Shoddy work, incompetence, laziness...all cost the manufacturers in OT and rework.

Not to say the complexity of the program isn’t any help either...but from my experience with the actual workers, they flat don’t give a damn.

It’s the “evil corporation” that they’re out to “punish” for employing them.

With the collapse of American morality I can see no reason why our military should not follow with collapsed morality. I can foresee a Female Admiral pleasuring an 18 year old female seaman just as the attackers missiles are launched. Instead of issuing the order to defend she will scream in ecstasy, the ship will be hit and sink resulting in the loss of 3000 lives and a 20 billion dollar ship. Such are the fruits of tolerance.

The answer is fairly simple: McCain can blackmail the weapons manufacturers who aren’t on board his money train. He can’t extract any money from the stooge in the white house.

What the hell would McCain know about a fighter jet? Other than how to crash them. And I’m not talking about the one he got shot down in because he didn’t follow procedures.

Juan ought to know about scandals - he is one.

[G Larry]

Well Mac, it would help if there were a consistant set of requirements and a predictable funding profile.

[skinkinthegrass]

Apparently none of the contractors who build the F-35 are among
the contributors to the Re-elect McCain for Senate campaign.pretty much, he's really a lying P.O.$....

Retire these GOP/e B@$@$T$; don't show any respect
for their previous actions..deeds.

[KC Burke]

Actually much of the training and basing of squadrons for the F-35 will be in Arizona. They doubled the number of Squadrons at Luke about three months ago.

[TalonDJ]

I don’t think I have heard of a military program in decades that Mclame did not push to cancel.

[skinkinthegrass]

And I’m not talking about the one he got shot
down in because he didn’t follow procedures.and didn't he graduated last (the goat..A/N ?) in his class...
maybe he was passed thru b/c of his family (pull :) traditions

[TalonDJ]

Yeah but he wanted ALL of them and now he is pouting because FL got the first one.

[Venturer]

Whatever the outcome—please do not let McCain try to fly one.

He crashed more airplanes than Soviet missiles, before he finally crashed one and got taken prisoner.

That’s what happens when they make exceptions for an Admirals boy who was near the bottom of his class.

[jpsb]

I do not like McCain but really? The f-35 is a very trouble program. Way over budget, way behind schedule and with performance requirements being redefined downward. I would not be surprised if when all is said and done one f-35 cost’s more then an f-22 and an f-22 is a much better fighter.

[VerySadAmerican]

I think it’s pretty well accepted that McCain got lots of priviledges because of who his father was. And that includes the North Vietnames.

!Callate Juan!
