The F22 Raptor...the World's best fighter jet bare none!! This fighter would have given the United States air dominance for the next decades, which in short means The People of the United States, would be safe from airborne attacks, and our pilots would be safe flying the best aircraft in the World.
'Grateful' President Thanks Senate For Removing Money For F-22 Jets From Defense Bill
Obama immediately said he was "grateful" to the Senate for its vote, calling funding for F-22s "an inexcusable waste of money."
There's the pot calling the kettle black.....well maybe that's a bad metaphor in today's racially charged environment thanks to Barack Obama's recent speech to a NAACP dinner meeting. But that aside, here's the reason they give for robbing Paul to pay Peter:
The administration has argued that the money could be put to better use for weapons like F-35 planes designed to be used by the Air Force, Marines, and Navy as well as key American allies. The F-35 fighter jet program that could eventually number 2,443 planes and cost $1 trillion.
This F-35...is like a bad joke...it's going to fall flat when it's out. The Socialist talk about the cost of the F-22, but they fail to see the huge tidal wave of cost coming to maintain huge fleets of F-35's across 3 branches of services, all fighting for dollars to maintain those planes..who get's priority...etc..etc. Then there's our key Allies who will have to relay on this substadard aircraft to go up against Russian MIG 35/1.42 MFI and Chinese MIG J-14/J-XX. One person pointed out that China will be able to mass produce their advance MIG's over the West/USA...it's just economics.
A little note from a prominent website FAS.Org:
The MAPO-MiG enterprise claims the new fighter would be able to outperform the F-22 Raptor, the most advanced US air-superiority fighter. Although the primary mission of the MFI is air-superiority, unlike the F-22 the MFI is also capable of performing strike mission, and thus in both conception and configuration is more directly comparable to the similar multi-role EFA2000 Eurofighter. Like the American F-22, the MFI has a thrust vectoring system that allows it to make sharp turns. It also has similar stealth capabilities, with the canard, wing and fuselage structures incorporating carbon-fiber and polymer composite materials. Other stealth features include radar-absorbing covering, screening of radar-visible structure elements, and reduced heat signature. The fifth-generation pulse-doppler radar has a phased-array andtenna with electronic scanning to simultaneously attack over 20 targets. The aircraft can carry long-range air-to-air and air-to-surface guided missiles, and it is armed with a 30-mm cannon.
A little history dear reader as noted by B.E.V. Every time...every time that the Democrats interfere, mess with, mess up, get their noses and fingers into the Pentagon and U.S. Military and Defense industries, our Nation and it's People in the future following the DNC follies....pay dearly and deadly for the DNC. Every single time. And now we're witnessing again the supreme liberal socialist Obama and the toads of the DNC, and a few marshmellow Republicans, are betraying the very security and safety of the United States and it's People.
Keep a list of those who voted these jets down, for the impact is just like throwing a bolder into a pond, there are reprocussions that affect the whole pond. By not having these F22's will affect the United States in the future, and after the smoke has cleared and the survivors have buried our dead.....get this list out and hold these criminals accountable.
