Well, the 33rd TFW took out 16 Iraqi MiGs that weren't rolling over or
fleeing. They may not have been anywhere near top notch, but those 16 at
least did put up a fight.

While not on the O'hara side of the fence, can we aggree more spending on
a f22 means a delay in the F35 program? Also that increasing the number
beyond 183 in the current budget environment means other Air force
programs will robbed to pay for them?

Certainly, with current budget constraints. That's a far cry from
O'Hara's theory of bankrupting the country. He's got his mind made up and
can't comprehend what is really going on around him. His personal biases
block this.

are you forgetting the trillion dollar war we are in that you wish to
continue for ego purposes?
if it were peace time, i'd be all for the F-22 but at the moment we have
more pressing concerns.

the chimpler has done one thing. he has made the war nothing to the home
frot. you thinkthings are just business as usual and that the war doesn't
cost. you are like a 17 yer old girl with a credit card.

Who says I wish for the war to continue for "ego purposes?"

You still don't get it, one has nothing to do with the other. Please
learn how the U.S. budget system works.

the chimpler has done one thing.

Your true agenda comes forth. It isn't the money that bothers you,
it's the man in charge.

he has made the war nothing to the home
frot.

Please translate that into a known language.

you thinkthings are just business as usual and that the war doesn't
cost.

You don't seem to have read a word I have written. I have never said
the war doesn't "cost." I have, however, said procurement for the war
isn't the only consideration at hand.

you are like a 17 yer old girl with a credit card.

And you are a stoopie num-num head, so neener to you too. Feel better
now?

Now that we have been reduced to name calling I am going to drop
this. Have a nice day.
