Bull, how do you have air superiority over countries that has missiles that can shoot down missiles. Now tell me how you can say I would have spent more money on planes, but not have spent more money. Now that is idiot talk on Perry's part. We did have the military a little busy at the same time.

First, the F22 is stealth. If you don't know where it is, your missile can't shoot it down. In any case ABM systems are designed to shoot down high altitude incoming missles, not cover every square mile of territory in low altitude tactical combat.

As far as the spending, the F22 is a drop in the federal budget bucket. You could easily build the F22 and cut 100 times that much from overall spending. By your logic, anyone in favor of building a border fence thinks Bush (and Obama) didn't spend enough.
