Reagan was smart to use it against him, but Carter was right to cancel the program. <br /><br />The fact is, Carter was aware of the F-117 and its development. The purpose of the B-1 was to penetrate air defense via speed. The F-117 did a better job with penetration using stealth. The B-1 can carry more bombs; but the F-117 could do the mission with fewer aircraft and personnel.<br /><br />Alas, Carter had a choice of announcing the US advantage in stealth to bolster his political position or remaining silent to protect a critical US secret. Reagan took advantage of it, although at the time; he likely didn't know of the F-117. Later, Reagan released information on the existence of the F-117 and B-2 bombers; though nobody would learn of their capability for a few more years.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-78613842364920148192017-01-17T16:19:29.980-05:002017-01-17T16:19:29.980-05:00As a matter of fact Nick is right.

Mainly because of the fallout of the Church Committee that revealed a bunch of dirty secrets.<br />Trump needs to revisit that and publish a bunch of the dirty laundry to discredit the permanent duopoly. Show their dirty tricks in the light of the sun.<br /><br />Carter was a true outsider just like Trump. So Trump has to be careful to not be co-opted by the Rhinos or the true blue conservatives. He has to stay true to his populist vision which is why millions of deplorables like me voted for him.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-65414100276983116972017-01-17T15:37:43.963-05:002017-01-17T15:37:43.963-05:00Lem said...

Beside their own announced intent, what observable qualifications do they bring to suggest competence in intelligence or national security?<br /><br />I agree with Ace yesterday. It's one thing that our Intelligence and Security folks are actively working against the incoming Administration. Essentially this is what they do in foreign governments, so why should we expect them to be constrained and not interfere domestically? But they are expected to be covert, and at that; these people make the pompous Valerie Plame and her flamboyant husband look downright discrete. That's incompetence, and we Americans deserve better. Pass these idiots over and find better replacements.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-5563572759833365192017-01-17T10:52:56.458-05:002017-01-17T10:52:56.458-05:00Please don't get your undies in a bunch.
