I can only say that I know that we'll be using hornets and superhornets well past the time we recieve the final F-35 JSF. That being said this kind of boost for Boeing comes as no surprise. The Navy C/D Hornet's are getting old so they're going to either be scrapped, given to us, or updated to E/F specs. I think we might get a few of them to replace some that we've lost (we lost 2 C's a couple months ago, and that's just the ones I know about!) But most will probably get scrapped.

Sorry these are just links, but they are very relevant and very interesting. Though I wouldn't believe any of it if I were you.

Joseph Goebbels shortly after the 1933 election of Adolf Hitler.

Think about it.

Skywalker, you are a history guy, how do you explain these similarities?

Simple: this country has long loooong outlived the life expectancy for a country founded on principles of personal freedom and liberty. Degeneration to things like the patriot act (which has some good things in it, but mostly bad) is to be expected unless the apathetic American public stops electing who are more interested in a) power and b) creating social programs to keep them in power. Good enough?

Remember, while I believe George Bush is the only serious candidate who is willing to actually take action military for the security of this nation (well, Joseph Lieberman, who is an extremely nice guy, who I would actually consider voting for exept that he has no chance of getting nominated - he'll get my vote in the primary however...since Georgia doesn't have party registration, and there's no serious republican or libertarian primaries) I also disapprove of his spending habits and many of his little social experiments. Bill Clinton increased spending slower than Bush for Christ's sake!

Come on skywalker ... Please comment on this :

(just a google search on Kay and no WMD)

No WMD, no links with Al Qaida ...

And no the UNO back in Irak, helping in the solution of post invasion mayhem ...

OK I'm ranting ...

But I still think it's worth considering in election time.

Bad decisions are often a sign that there's a problem with the decision maker.

You obviously didn't read EVERYTHING David Kay said.

The UN not going back into IRaq just represents the worthlessness of that organization. No links with al Quaeda? haha that's a joke. David Kay even said they were flocking to that place like kids to a candy store!

Mayhem? Sorry but I'd hardly describe it as mayhem over there. You want mayhem? Visit Zaire or Uganda, or any nation where TF Horn of Africa is operating. Oh wait, you're not military, you probably have never heard of TF Horn of Africa.

Kay said:
He has found no weapons of mass destruction. He believes there were some there before the war. Our inability to find any is a failure of our intelligence. He believes Saddam Hussein was indeed a threat to our security. He does not believe the government was actively supporting al Quaeda. Al Quaeda operatives were indeed flocking to the place "like kids to a candy store."

That's his trade mark, skywalker. If he didn't post unrelated comments, he wouldn't be DF. hehehe.
