picky point. I thought the b-1 and the fb-111 were still considered to be strategic assets for penetration into the rodina.

I am wondering exactly what function do aurora and brilliant buzzard have?

Also am wondering if maybe our beam weaponry is a lot further along than we admit to.

Of course, none of that takes away from my suppositon that at high levels we done been sold down de river. I think there's 4 or 5 major factions in government duking it out all the time behind the scenes, unfortunately, the seriously global goon faction appears to have the uper hand most of the time, the old europaen money faction.

picky point retort.

F-111 has been decom'd (or relegated to Nat. Guard) B-1B, while capable, is not on nuclear alert. IE no bombs on 'de wings mon. 6 minute warning time vs. min 25 min load time etc etc. You do the math =)

Brilliant B and Aurora, at best, are unmanned recon birds. I suppose they'd make pretty spiffy kamikazi drones, but it's not the same thing, really
