post a commentThat'll be great in our battle with the Iraqi insurgents for air superiority.
Quite so. But they'll come in handy at Brushehr.
it might help you get to work during the transit strike though.
According to the NY Times, people during the last strike resorted to "other methods of transport, such as walking and private helicopters."
Another example of the Times famous common touch . . . .
Finally, I am not alone.
Your hero president is a fucking crook!
constitution? we don't need no stinkin' constitution!
Yeah, I saw that NYT story myself. The Times sat on it for over a year, and now has printed it a few weeks before the publication of the book by its reporter. They're flacking their employee's book, and don't ever get around to mentioning it in their story.
Meanwhile, the story is based on leaks from Government employees. Like the non-leaks of the identity of non-agent Valerie Plame. I think we need to find out who leaked to the Times, and put them and the Times reporters in jail.
p.s. As it turns out, Nixon wasn't a crook.
cry me a river. the president is terrible. your conspiracy theories are quaint, just like your worldview.
Wow! We're starting to get into diagnosable territory.
Tell you what: Send me an email that sets out my "world view," accompanied by an explanation of why it's "quaint."
IF YOU MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL, I'LL POST IT, UNEDITED EXCEPT FOR THE OBVIOUS
[A definition of that word in this context might be a good start, by the way. My three-piece suits worn with suspenders might properly be described as "quaint," since they're old fashioned. If my "world-view" included very strong opinions regarding the superiority of sail over steam, then it might also be "quaint."]
The F22 is extremely impressive, but I have to wonder if it doesn't contemplate a war that will never be fought.
The cost is 102 Million per piece. I fully agree that the USAF needs modern fighters, but 102 million buys a lot of small arms, or armored vehicles, that may be of greater use in the wars we appear likely to fight.
