That's what leadership looks like. Lt. Col. Allen West is new to Congress but he knows what he's doing. His letter cuts straight to the core issues. Lets hope Sec. Donley reads his mail!

Please tell me this is not a case of keeping constituents happy in his district, though. The defense companies (and others, I’m sure) have become adept at scattering their facilities all over the country so that every time the military wants to cut some project or other, the company can be sure that a congressman will speak up to stop them.
It’s how the game is played. I hope Col. West is not a player.

Is West addressing the underreported stink of cronyism?

Rep. West is completely correct on all counts on this program. Crews were trained and ready to deploy with Super-T's over a year ago, but it was put on hold by the Kansas delegation.
Frankly, Beech is going to make enough money on King Airs for the ISR mission.
What they are promising for this mission is a political fight today, to meet yesterday's requirements, the day after tomorrow.
