In addition to costs, Warner said Tuesday he is concerned about the United States' image in the competitive international marketplace, particularly as the country's defense industrial base shrinks. The United States must work with "our allies and friends overseas [on] joint military programs," he said.
Clearly it is time for Warner to go! I love him dearly and think that he is one of the more competent legislators but his position reflects the congressional slant toward the world rather than the United States. Warner should retire or be voted out. Duncan hunter needs to foster his buy American program more strongly and ignore the political BS about buying from "our friends." Germany is "our friend"? Germany is the only country that we have fought in two major world wars! How are they our friends? Remember the German position when the United States wanted to place missiles there in the 1980's for the defense of Europe? Where is the German support for the United States today? Warner should start representing the people of Virginia and stop worrying about "our friends overseas." The President has almost assured we have no friends overseas.

It's about time someone started paying attention to the manufacturing industrial base of this country! GE has been getting the lion's share of all engine contracts (and the very lucrative follow-on spares orders!) since the 1980's, while P&W has to take in non-engine machining work from other companies just to keep its doors open and its workers employed. Was it too much inbreeding or is it the fact that we just have too many flaming idiots in the executive branch both in and out of uniform? Wake up!
