I'm very concerned about the lack of disclosure in the news release from the Pentagon. According to Defense News, the helicopter is actually a design by the European company AgustaWestland. No mention is made of the AgustaWestland partnership. In fact, it doesn't say anything about non-American partnership in building the aircraft. Check out the Defense News side of the story at: http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?F=624931&C=america

$1.7 billion for a damned chopper????? Man, think of the homeless we could house, the water we could clean up, the owls we could save, the democrats we could get elected, the slush funds we could contribute too, the abortions we could pay for, wow. Oh, sorry, just some socialist ranting! /sarcasm off.

Yeah, LIEberman became pretty hawkish once he got his check from Sikorsky...
Him and Dodd were against every military defense budget of the 1980's until the Berlin Wall fell down...and they realized it meant jobs in Ct...and that meant votes!

Not trying to sound like a whinging democrat, but 1.7 Billion is ridiculous, I want to know what this thing can do.
How many F-22s or SumperJumbo's could be bought with that sorta money?????

Oh, sorry, just some socialist ranting! /sarcasm off. This is sort of related to your post but not the subject at hand. I saw a great bumper sticker yesterday that read, "Nuke the Whales"

"Not trying to sound like a whinging democrat, but 1.7 Billion is ridiculous, I want to know what this thing can do." Well, one thing it can certainly do is pay the political slush funds of Jacques Chirac and Gerhardt Schroeder...just kidding.
