Obama Finally Finds Something We Can’t Afford: Military Superiority
NewsReal Blog ^ | July 17, 2009 | Claude Cartaginese

Imagine a fighter jet that would give the United States complete air superiority in any conflict. An aircraft that’s faster, has longer range, and is more fuel-efficient at high speeds than any aircraft ever built. A plane virtually invisible to radar and deadly accurate, almost guaranteeing that any selected target would be destroyed. An aircraft so advanced that the armed forces of every country on earth are scared to death of it and know that they would be defenseless against it for years to come.

We have that plane. It’s called the F-22 Raptor, and our President and Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama, hates it.

Our President hates the United States of America.

Period.

"More than jobs will be saved. There is precious expertise associated with such an advanced technology that will be lost. Small companies that provide advanced components, already at risk, could shut down, delivering yet another blow to our industrial infrastructure."

Music to the ears of Obama and the Left.

Just tell him that this is an ABORTION and EUTHANSIA Flying Center and that it can handle record numbers of abortions and “assisted suicides.” He will plunk down our great-great-great-great-great grandchildren’s money SO fast......

Oh comeon. Having air superiority would be a very “arrogant” thing. Imagine how badly the feelings of those attacking our troops and planes would be hurt if we had more advanced weapons and the fight didn’t seem fair.

Same game plan as when Clinton came into office. Gut to the military until its a joke, and move the money to social programs that produce nothing but cradle to the grave welfare.

Obama Finally Finds Something We Can’t Afford: Military Superiority

To survive, we can’t afford to be less than Militarily Superior.

Obama, the death of America, the death of us all.

Dumb ass tool of Soros.

For his few pieces of silver (fame and fortune), Obama sells us down the river.

Enjoy it while you can, eternity in hell is a lot longer than a few years of prosperity and fame. :-(

Please send this Idiot back to the illage that misses him dearly in his home country of KENYA! There he can renew his campaign with his “Cousin ODINGA” and finish burning down the remaining Christian Churches they didn’t destroy on their first round of Rioting:-(

He must like the Navy, however.
Photobucket

Armed with a single MA-2 .50 caliber Browning, this much feared naval vessel carries up to 30 rounds of armor piercing ammunition. It is the first in an entirely new naval architecture class -- technically, “clitoral” (not to be confused with “littoral”) -- being pushed on the Pentagon by the defense minded wussies in the Obama Administration as a cost-saving measure. If you look closely, you can see the heavy-duty seat restraint which prevents the pilot/gunner – Kamakazi Kowalski – from leaping from the vessel prior to engaging the enemy. The 12 V trolling motor – which lacks a reverse function -- propels this sophisticated craft forward at a top speed of 4 knots. Reverse travel – at approximately 35 knots -- is achieved by firing the Browning.

The no-bid contract to build 200 of these fearsome warships was recently awarded to Obama-Soros-Emanuel Shipbuilding and Stormdoor Manufacturing (formerly General Dynamics) and will be administered by trusted Obama associate and Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel who commented that, at $12 million each, they are a bargain. They will be constructed exclusively at the company’s facility in Kenya with major subcomponent production (rivets and miscellaneous fasteners) at the company’s Harlem and Skokie plants. Delivery is expected to begin in 2024 (or as soon as the subcontractor's funds are safely in the contractor's Swiss account).

“Drones are the future.”

I agree that jet jockies in front of monitors are the future as they guide their drones, but, as you say, that is the future.

NOW is NOW. That justifies the F-22 and more of them.

There's a hell of a lot of highly specialized parts for the F-22 that are made by American companies.

Contrast that with GM whose parts are made in Mexico.

Seriously, where does this ass clown get is logic from?

Thats nice. Can any current production drone in the US military go up against a Russian Sukhoi S-37 or SU-30MK in air combat.
And lets exclude the one in the movie “Stealth” since that wasn’t actually a real plane.
Until the day that a drone can beat those planes in long distance missile attacks and dogfighting, I’ll take the F-22 which tears both those russian planes a new one.
The russians even tried to build a plane called the PAK-FA T-50 that was to be a true 5th generation fighter to potentially take on a F-22 or the J-35 joint strike fighter, but it was just a cheap knockoff of a F-22, and has been officially scraped before they even developed a test version.
