Obozo will "F-up" and start a war and then claim to Americans "we're NOT in a war"

My point: Sooner or later he 's gonna make a mistake so big that it CANNOT be lied about or glossed over.

If we had any sort of sense in our national defense strategy, these things would be tasked to destroy the roads and rails facilitating the invasion from the south. Not so easy to get millions of Central Americans over the border if they have to walk all the way from the Yucatan.

“The GAU-22/A is lighter and more accurate than its predecessor, but with a reduced rate of fire of 3,300 rounds per minute. At that rate, the F-35 would be out of ammunition in about four seconds, or one or two bursts of fire.

By comparison, the 30mm, seven-barrel GAU-8/A Avenger in the nose of the venerable Warthog attack aircraft can hold as many as 1,174 rounds. It’s configured to fire at a fixed rate of fire of 3,900 rounds per minute.”
