SR-71

: drone it had just launched.) No enemy was ever able to touch it. SecDef Robert McNamara ordered all the SR-71 manufacturing tools destroyed so he would have more tax dollars to waste on the F-111. In 1994 William Jefferson Clinton used line item veto to cancel all funding for SR-71s. They are now in museums. The pilots said that we really need that airplane today for reconnaissance over places like Iran, Iraq, Syria, Korea:country-region, China, Russia, etc. If it were not for Clinton, SR-71 would still be performing that reconnaissance today. Does he know that Kingfish isn't? Bertie
