Besides, historically speaking, the Iraq war is low-intensity and, frankly, cheap. The F-22 is designed for a very different kind of conflict. The F-22 is NOT a solution to threats in Iraq. Nor was it ever meant to be. Apples and oranges, man. Hoax,

It just seems to me that hundreds of guys/gals are not dying because of close-air support--they're dying because of IEDs, snipers, RPGs, etc. I'm sure the F-22 is great--but is it really what we need right now. C'mon, there isn't a single country that could even come close to competing in any kind of an air campaign--and we're supposed to spend hundreds of billions on this plane?!! Seems like a waste of money that could be better spendt elsewhere.
