You mark time. In this case that probably suggests going for something like the Super Hornet or Rafale.

But we couldn't even hold a competition without the F-35 right now, at least not with what's been put out in public. How can we decide the tradeoffs between price and performance if we haven't agreed upon what our performance requirements actually are?Sixth Estatehttp://www.sixthestate.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-62803183835181272392012-12-13T12:58:58.883-08:002012-12-13T12:58:58.883-08:00Canadians should know by now that it would be unwi...Canadians should know by now that it would be unwise buy a used car from these guys.<br /><br />The problem is that they -- for the moment -- are the only dealer in town.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.com
