So, now we can bomb somebody from 60 miles away, from a jet

What kind of target needs that?

And what kind of target is worth $18.5 million dollars? For just 201 bombs and the F-15 mounted bomb carriers?

1. Why do you hate Amerika?

And Boeing?

[Joebert]

2. Sorry, it was the practical side of me...

$18.5M for bombs and delivery mechanisms. 201 of them. These bombs are dropped from a jet, and are 7.5" in diameter.

Limited targets for a weapon like that. A jet will be going so fast, the 60 mile range is good for them. But what would you bomb with such a small bomb at so great an expense?

3. personnel. AKA political targets n/t

4. Pittsburgh Penguins...

AND the Buddy Christ.

You're all set. :-)


I think I'd have to feel pretty special if somebody thought enough of me to spend $18.5 Million on getting rid of me. :-P

6. Don't be picking on my flightless birds now...

Or I may have to get one of those them-there bombs myself...

Grrrrr...

7. As a depressed Flyers fan, I was just happy to see something hockey.

It made me smile.

Save the bombs for the Rangers.

10. Ha-ha

Pens will own the Flyers next year...if there is a next year...

[Joebert]

11. Is this Democratic Underground? or Delusional? :-)

The Flyers are ripe for a complete self destruction.

The only way things could be worse, is if they bring Lindros back.

If my Flyers have to eat it, I would have no problem if it were the Pens that did it.

Just as long as the Flyers still end up ahead of the Rangers.

[4MoreYearsOfHell]

12. What? Delusional?

OK, maybe I am just a bit...would be nice if the Rangers bite the big on, though...

Hey, a fellow can dream, can't he?

[Joebert]

13. Here's hoping that this time next year...

We're both laughing at the Rangers, watching our teams do well on the way to playing in the Eastern Conference finals after beating Montreal, Toronto, Washington, Ottawa, Boston and the Islanders.

In other words, no southern hockey, and no Rangers in the playoffs.

And this time next year, we should be spinning up the 2006 election cycle. Plenty to do.

14. Dude, you got that right

I just wanna see some hockey...

[4MoreYearsOfHell]

5. That's nothing, have you seen the cost of each F-22?

And how many of them they want to buy?

My question is, if the plane is so freaking fantastic, why do they need so many of them...

Yeah, I know, terraists be everywhere...How fucking convenient...

[Joebert]

8. If there is a plan to decomission older jets...

Then, fine. F-22's all around.

My question would be, do they REALLY cost that much, how much is built in fun money for everyone involved?

[4MoreYearsOfHell]

9. Here is a link

36 billion or so...

Just think of how many terraists that will kill!!!

Exceptin' those with box-cutters...

Yippee!!! More tax-payer dollars for high-flying toys!!!
