I'm not so sure. We'll be left w...@ Owen. I'm not so sure. We'll be left with the consequences of Harper's incompetence long after he's safely (and comfortably) gone from Ottawa.<br /><br />@ Anon. You know how kids want to show up for the first day of school dressed in the same fashions that "all the kids" will be wearing? The F-35 is pretty much the same thing. It's Canada's admission ticket to America's aerial Foreign Legion and our people want in.<br /><br />@ Steve. Yes, money is a powerful motive. Lockheed was supposed to make bags of loot from the F-22 until it was canceled in mid-production run by Obama. That shifted the fortunes of America's biggest defence contractor entirely onto the F-35. That's when Lockheed quietly stopped talking F-22 and began proclaiming its poor cousin, the F-35, the greatest fighter in the world.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-14760018382205982322013-01-22T06:47:18.667-08:002013-01-22T06:47:18.667-08:00Whats the motive, money.

Does the Harper Government think that slapping some lipstick and a dress on the F-35 pig will convince us otherwise? What's their motive?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-73414481879731901182013-01-21T12:34:28.052-08:002013-01-21T12:34:28.052-08:00In the end, Mound, Stephen Harper will have to fac...In the end, Mound, Stephen Harper will have to face the consequences of his incompetence.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.com
