Libs have been saying the same thing about major weapons systems since the later stages of the cold war. "It's too complex, it won't work, it's not needed", and then what do you know the weapon system works great.

Now my question for people with a more leftist viewpoint. I distinctly remember Hillary Clinton in one of her debates talking about setting up no fly zones in Darfur and shooting down Sudanese aircraft that attack or attempt to attack the black population in that area. Now what I want to know is how exactly the U.S. is supposed to enforce this no fly zone when many of our current aircraft are aging and are scheduled to be retired in the coming years and folks like Kaplan feel that replacements like the F-22 are “cold war relics” that aren't needed? Aircraft just like any other piece of machinery suffer problems like metal fatigue, corrosion, etc. and must be replaced at some point. Is it your view that the U.S. Air force could or should enforce said no fly zone with Cessna’s or what?
