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.

Are you suggesting that this plane is too fast to provide good ground support?
