A NEW THOUGHT ON PREEMPTIVE MANEUVERS--We should tell the Iranian Hitler wannabe that we only need this new plane to try and locate the huge nuclear bomb that has turned up missing from our arsenal of thousands of nuclear weapons...and we think it may have been smuggled into Iran by citizens unhappy with his regime and its intent on developing nuclear weapons. And even though we only think this is merely a negotiating tool, it is a little curious why they only gave us the cell phone number of the cell phone attached to the bomb.

We could ask the little jerk if he would prefer political asylum or some guarantee that we wouldn't publish the cell phone number of the cell phone on the bomb over the internet upon his arrival home...

NOW DO YOU WANT TO STOP ENRICHING URANIUM BEFORE WE TALK......

unfortunately I think that is what the little guy wants... he seems to have a napoleonic complex mixed with complete religious fervor and I honestly wonder if he would not like to take on the big bad U.S. (and Israel by proxy) to solidify his status in the Arab world and/or in the heaven he believes in.

This is an awesome aircraft but I question it's viability as a close air support airframe due to the expense, speed, and costs per target in comparison to some older aircraft (primarily the A-10) already in the inventory.

Too bad this plane wasn't available when Imanutajihad came over to the states. We could have done the old "Lightening vs. Evil Bad Guy" like we did in WW II with Yomamoto (if my history serves me right?).
