>>>I'm sorry, I'm not prescient yet. <g><<< Give it a try. I will tell you what will happen. I suspect that I will be correct too. Here, let me give you a hint. After the first Iraq war in the early 1990s, the military was having a tough sell with the B-2. I cannot remember whether it costs $1 billion or $2 billion a copy. (What would Everett Dirksen think?) After the war, a general was testifying before Congress. He had a number of charts showing how much the B-2 would save. He substituted 1 B-2 for a variety of other Air Force planes. As he progressed, he tried to show that one more B-2 would eliminate the need for an assortment of other planes. As he continued, I thought the Air Force was trying to end up with 50 B-2s and no other planes. He needed a new writer. The Air Force has only about 24 B-2s.
