WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon (news - web sites) may have to
scrap
its premier fighter jet program to help pay for the war in Iraq
(news -
web sites), Sen. John McCain, an influential member of the Armed
Services Committee, said on Sunday.

"It's obvious that we're paying a heavy price, I think, for not having
had enough troops there from the beginning," the Arizona Republican
said
on NBC's "Meet the Press."


But hey, we're "transformational" don't ya know? I've come to the
conclusion that "transformational" is politic-speak for "we'll do
whatever the hell we want no matter how it short-changes the guy in
the field and we're right".

Perhaps what you wrote can be formed into the F-22 motto, Ferrin. The
fighter mafia really screwed the pooch on this one. Being split across
the
2000 production break did not help either. The whole F-22 mess has been
like watching a man play soliare with a deck of 51.


You are SO predictable.

The unified wave therom and probabilities is my game.

Reliability - Availability - Revenue



Pavlov made a dog drooling predictable so is your response suppose to
impress me?


I'll conceed one one point with a qualifier. Our ongoing fued hasn't
ever been WOULD the F-22 be cancelled but SHOULD it. That being said,
I still maintain (as does the USAF) that the F-22 is the best of the
available choices. The F-22 as an aircraft that is. As a *program*
meaning mainly the the way it's being managed, funded, scheduled etc.
it looks to have all the finesse of a monkey trying to **** a
football. I hope for the sake of the pilots who'll have to fight that
we get it but who knows what will happen.
