TM, do you mean the millions of dollars of pork that California purchased with Stimulus money? |

I haven't spoken with any F-22 pilots. Undoubtably the State Patrol would love to have Maseratis. Personally I'd prefer a fleet of 75 Crown Vics to 7 Maserati's. It's better to buy what you need then what you want. Anyway, the Air Force doesn't want these F-22's. The politicians who are trying to protect jobs in their districts do. I think jobs are important, but I think getting the troops on the ground the equipment they really need is more important. |

The State Patrol analogy works for me because this isn't about protecting our country from invaders. If we are out there flying '75 Crown Vics against Chinese Maseratis, we're going to lose. I don't care how many pieces of crap you throw against a superior fighter, the superior fighter is going to win. The F22 is the world's best fighter. I understand that you think that building a few more F22's is tantamount to pulling armour off of the backs of troops fighting our wars, but that is not true. See above post. The Air Force wasn't asked if they wanted these planes, the Pentagon was. |

I agree with TM. The US needs the best and most equipped aircraft in the world, without it we are major target. I think our enemies have discovered that there are three ways at attacking America without a war machine: 1) Public Opinion 2) Financial and 3) Low Costs Products |

Yah. That's right. The Chinese are reknown for their quality hand-crafted automobiles.

You have to laugh at this. Whatever Obama does will be judged as wrong in the eyes of the Conservatives. Had he supported these planes he would have been condemned as a pork farmer- ignoring the pleas of the Pentagon in preference of his party members. They have the meme down pat, gotta give them that. |
