McCain and the Pentagon say the Air Force already has plenty.

Ah! But, the fleet is as old as McNuts.

McGoo has finally done it this time.

The C-17 is the finest military cargo aircraft in the entire history of aviation.

I deployed to Central Asia on one of four C-17s which carried our unit, along with some very heavy vehicles. That aircraft was so awesome we screamed bloody murder when we learned we were headed back to the world via World Airways, because the C-17s were committed to the spring offensive in Afghanistan.

Sorry, Senator, you have screwed the you-know-what this time. Do us a favor and do an Arlen Specter.

Goodbye!!
