Next President May Cut Fighter Jet Program

The next president, John McCain or Barack Obama, will be a tight fisted commander in chief. That's bad news for the Air Force's push to buy scores more F-22 Raptors, a supersonic jet fighter designed to dominate enemy airspace. (Sept. 30)

How about we cut free money to illegal aliens that is killing us financially.

fuck...ya this shit is cool, but we dont need anymore...why not actually spend that money on something useful, like more domestic problems....we are good for the next 50 years, those other country's stealth planes suck. And ours is 20 years old already....and we have 2 stealth fighters...im thinkin with china and russia rollin out their latest shit, the USAF is gonna comfort us americans by rollin out some crazy shit from area 51....cant even imagine whats in there now.

@pauldb707 And let me be clear, dear TRAITOR: I've been following the F-22 story since it beat the YF-23 in the showdown phase. All those years I was living in Venezuela, completely unexposed to neocons. I simply support the F-22 program because I'm a PATRIOT who defended the USA overseas. Tell me what you think of Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and the Che Guevara. Chances are they are heroes to you.

@pauldb707 Chances are you think whoever believes 9/11 was NOT an inside job has been deceived by the neocons. You should go and live in Cuba or Venezuela, but you don't have the balls. Keep on reading Michael Moore's books and you'll get far in life!

[pauldb707]

you are a nut fucking case, you want to do a church bake sale for general dynamics!! those neocons have you good

[Aztech355]

We need the F-22 period.

[rw5791]

mark my words,one day we will have to deal with the chinks and it will now be from a weaker position without the f-22.

[Gyro911]

Can we now conclude that putting this monkey in the white house is the worst social experiment in United states history.. This amongst other Obama Polices will allow China and Russia to suprass us

[crusader92]

You're right. The problem is that our leaders aren't patriots. Russia is heading back to its old ways, and with Sukhoi fighters that are better than the F-15, it's crazy not to continue producing more F-22s as a deterrent. Every patriot in America should volunteer to contribute some money in order to get a decent amount of F22s operational if the government refuses to help our own country.

[joaofga123]

This is very bad, in cold war days, the US government planned somethin like 750 F-22s, and now they only have 182 (one crashed last month I think). Stop the production is a big mistake!

[mankyman6]

All we would have to do is cut the B-2 and the F-117 considering the F-22 can do both roles that those two aircraft play.

Unless of course there is something that makes them valuable from which we couldn't get rid of them.
