F-22 necessary for any pre-emptive strike on Iran
upi ^ | 4/24/09 | upi

Posted on 03/24/2009 3:00:18 PM PDT by Flavius

- Definitive signs of weapons deployment by a bellicose regime in Iran might lead to a decision in favor of pre-emptive, multinational action. While none would be eager for this kind of scenario, the fact remains that it would task Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT)/Boeing F-22 Raptors heavily.

A cut in weapons like the F-22 jet fighter will also cut jobs. But that's not really the point.

no it isnt the point

We can't afford F-22s! We have to have PROGRAMS to give medical care to the poor and the illegals. And we have to pay for the chillin's edumakashun and Nancy needs a new Airplane.

“Warm up those jets and BOMB! BOMB! BOMB! BOMB!”

AMEN!!!!! I totally agree!

Unfortunately, I think Obama is too much of a coward and he won’t do what needs to be done.

I hope they keep the F-22s. They’re some of our best fighters! We need them! Obama would be insane to cut them!

At least Netanyahu will be PM of Israel and will go after Iran if Obama just sits and wets his pants.

What pre-emptive strike? Under Obama’s watch? Against his BROTHERS in Allah (AKA - Satan)?

Pretty evident why we need to completely cut F-22 and any further weapons procurement. Obama is going to hand over they keys to the nation...

How much did he build it up? I would think that most of the money during his tenure went for operations.

The question is will the milquetoast party (GOP) roll over?

Wouldn’t we rely more on cruise missiles and drones?

No, I don't think PP KAKAYOYO has the guts as much as Obamarama. Chaim Ben Pesach was just discussing somethings about him on his show the other week that made me cringe. Right now, I'd rather have Ehud Smolmert in charge than that donut. Then Again, if the Hayamin party in Israel puts enough pressure he might go ahead and bomb the reactors. End of story with IRAN.

Kinda' boils down to priorities doesn't it.

Well, look ahead with confidence for Timothy Geithner is too big to fail and we have him on the economy.

Tomorrow we will ALL be working and will own the world.

The messiah speaking will make it happen.

So who needs a stupid over priced invisible killing machine anyway? /s

You know...how eerie this is....did you watch BSG? Remember they always said "we've been here before, done this before, the cycle keeps repeating?"

This country for the last decades since WWII has been locked in a battle between good and evil - alternating - except, the worm has turned permanently to the dark side on this last flip. We have no recourse at this point other than ----what has happened before....

Obama’s America will not bomb anyone. It might hurt the environment — we can talk to our enemies and give them billions in aid. Why do we need a military in the 21st Century? The UN will solve all of our problems—there is no need for force of any kind. LOL
