The Joint Strike Fighter project was conceived in the nineties with contract for prototypes being awarded to Lockheed Martin and Boeing in 1997. Lockheed Martin's X-35 and Boeing's X-32 first flew in 2000. Lockheed Martin was declared the winner in 2001. What's "just a little too convenient"? In fact, on the basis that the U.S. military has been introducing new aircraft ever since the U.S. Army bought a plane from the Wright Brothers in 1909, what on earth do either of these have to do with 9/11? |

There is no Bin Laden, Never was...........
You forgot one, and a big one at that
Did Elvis Fake His Own Death ??? You've all seen the gravestone with his name spelled incorrectly I think he's still alive, In fact, I believe he funded the JFK assassination. Elvis was flippin' fuckin' mad at JKF for not selecting him for the space program. Then he got real mad, when he found out the moon landings were faked and Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins were only orbiting the earth, He vowed revenge on the US government. So, he faked his own death, fled the US in 1977 and moved too the middle east and lived quietly as a goat herder for many years plotting the 9/11 attacks on the US Evidence Moral of my story, just because it's on the internet don't make it fact That story up there might be true

Hah! Gotcha! That's a trick question ... because Elvis didn't exist!
He was a hologram! In fact you don't exist because you're a hologram too! ... but don't feel too bad about it, because we're all holograms! I know that because I saw it on the telly! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkQWjZD9Tf4 I consulted my scientific adviser to verify the details, and this was his response ... |

Hmmm ... let me think this one through ....
If you're not a hologram, then according to "The Enlightened One", you must be one of those who're projecting the hologram ... so you're in control! I knew the mods were powerful, but ... well ... like ... WOW! Thinks ... mod ... MOD ... M.O.D. Mind-controlling Omnipotent Deity! It all makes sense! Wembley, here I come! |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_YF-22 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_X-35 In other words, the projects were well advanced long before 9/11. The Advanced Tactical Fighter programme was initiated to develop a fifth generation fighter to replace the F-15's and F-16's. That decision was made in the eighties, so had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. The F-15 and F-16 have been in service for almost forty years and were designed to 1960's specifications! They were due for replacement whether 9/11 happened or not! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Tactical_Fighter The Joint Strike Fighter programme was initiated to develop a replacement for a whole host of ageing NATO aircraft. Again, that decision was made long before 9/11. The UK, Italy, Canada, Australia, Norway, Turkey and Denmark pumped millions into the project. The UK government selected the JSF as a replacement for the Sea Harrier in January 2001. The JSF was going to go into production whether 9/11 happened or not! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_S...ighter_Program I'm sorry but I'm really struggling to understand your point. Are you suggesting that if it hadn't been for 9/11 "conveniently" happening, the US and all the NATO countries involved in the projects wouldn't have ordered modern aircraft? If that's not what you're suggesting, and they were going to order modern aircraft anyway, what's 9/11 got to do with it? |

There is a strange silence at Auschwitz, it is almost as if the birds have lost the ability to sing and a sort of foreboding in the air. It is very strange and most who visit say the same.

The King
When I was about 15/16 I watched a TV program on Elvis proclaiming that he watched his own "funeral" it said a wax dummy was in the coffin/casket. His middle name Aaron is misspelled on his head stone. But I don't buy he's alive working in a chippy.

Just jumping around a bit, I do think the article comparing the F-22 to the Me262 is verging on the ridiculous! The Me262 was introduced at a time when the Luftwaffe was suffering from a shortage of pilots, fuel, spares, maintenance facilities, lubricants etc. etc. They had their backs to the wall and had pretty much already lost the war. The 262 engines were notoriously unreliable and had a limited life, and the 262 itself was most vulnerable when taking off and landing. In essence, the 262 concept wasn't flawed; it was the fact that Germany was in a no win situation and I can't really foresee a comparable scenario in which a foreign power has total air superiority over the U.S. mainland! It's interesting to note that the U.S.A.F originally planned to purchase 750 of the new ATF, but the number was reduced on several occasions prior to 9/11. It was then further reduced after 9/11, so if there is a direct link between 9/11 and the F-22, it can only be that post 9/11 the U.S. government saw less of a need for the aircraft ... but personally, I don't think there is a direct link! With the F-35, there's the political situation to consider. The U.S. has a host of partners in the programme, so they couldn't simply pull the plug without seriously pissing off their NATO partners who've invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and I'd suggest that would be counter-productive! Whether we all actually need fifth generation fighters is open to debate, but I really don't see how 9/11 was a "convenient" excuse to order aircraft which had already been designed and tested. Having spent billions on the projects, the F-22 and F-35 were going to enter service whether anyone really wanted them or not! |
