#9  And you're right. Two advisers, one for Biden and one from the Center for American Progress, a Hillary linked astroturf group.

#7  http://nsnetwork.org : The National Security Network (NSN) works to strengthen American national security by creating and advancing progressive policies for exercising American power and addressing global challenges.

Ha! Ya got punked. For more laughs, check out their policy papers and board of directors.

Their next policy paper: Living with the Consequences: The Effects of Voting Down the Iran Nuclear Agreement Policy Brief by J. Dana Stuster July 28, 2015 Should Congress vote down the nuclear agreement with Iran, it will inhibit the ability of the United States to implement an effective foreign policy for the foreseeable future. Rejecting the deal will alienate U.S. allies and diminish U.S. standing in future negotiations. It will isolate the United States both diplomatically and economically, as the sanctions regime collapses and rivals set up a new financial infrastructure that will undermine the effectiveness of U.S. sanctions.

#5  This was predictable. One airframe does not fit all missions.

We still need

1) An air superiority aircraft.

2) a long range bomber/interdiction strike craft

3) CAS

The Navy and USAF need to agree to disagree on 1-2 and develop the one that fits their mission profiles.

3 should be left to the Army and Marines.

Not I siad aircraft. This includes possibly unmanned combat vehicles, including a mannned controller and a swarm of drones flying with it.
