Darren,

Just who is going to be manufacturing the bombs? The number of
defense contractors have dwindled considerably. Do you know how long
the process takes to build and ship a high-tech precision bomb to its
final destination? Please enlighten me. The DOD and the USAF are
the ones worried about a shortage, not me. The cost of building these
bombs isn't cheap. Don't the tomahawks cost about 1 million each?
So Britain is helping to foot the bill. Big deal. Common sense tells
me it's takes more time to build/ship a bomb than it does to drop a
bomb.I may need to upgrade my wattage, but you need to turn on the
lights.
