Default Is Rumsfeld gunning for the F/A-22?

This latest leaked memo seems to follow Rumsfeld's pattern of accusing
systems of not being transformational enough.

http://www.pogo.org/p/defense/da-040305-fa22.html
A document recently leaked showed that the White House had instructed
the Pentagon to conduct a review of the F/A-22 and the Comanche
helicopter (a copy can be viewed at
http://www.pogo.org/m/dp/dp-ombfa22-2004.pdf).


If I was a spin doctor working for The Force, I'd make a quick name
change to F-22 and A-35 and then have Jumper say "Gosh Senator, without
the F-22 to clear the way, what would be the point of building A-35
tactical bombers?"
