WASHINGTON, July 30 (AP) - (Kyodo)—The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday passed a $636.3 billion defense spending bill that scuttled the disputed F-22 fighter jet program but retained funding for other projects the White House opposes. The passage followed the White House's renewed threat for President Barack Obama to veto a bill for fiscal 2010, starting Oct. 1, if it includes money to continue producing the F-22.

Hey, we don’t need an air superiority fighter. After all, air dominance just isn’t that important in modern warfare. /SARC

I really hope the next Republican administration can revive the F-22 the same way Reagan revived the B-1 Bomber. This is really sad.

But in reality, it is the lifeline of protection of our ground and naval forces from enemy air strikes. Air Superiority Comes First
