Air superiority How long will we have it?

For a long time now I've been concerned about the cuts in Military spending over the last decade.
One of the primary reasons for the 9/11 tragedy is the lack of HUMINT or human intelligence (I.E. "boots on the ground")
The cuts in funding to the C.I.A.s budget already allowed one tragedy.
Do we have to allow another before we increase the Military budget

West Point look at the Military expenture comparing to the military budget.

US has some very expensive stuff on their side and to pay for it you need a lot of money. So the Military Budget now might not be enough to give the CIA and FBI enough to work on the catching terrorists.

For example US has had bad CIA info about World Trade Centers and Iraq War where they told Bush one thing and thing was really not the right info.

Squid, we have 16 planes about to be declassified in the upcoming years. Not counting the ones that wont be declassified.

Laxpla how ignorant can you be,

Do you think US is the only country with classified projects?

Other countries just dont declassify thier projects so they have a better "Ace in the Hole" during a war.

P.S. Who is Squid anyway? I dont see anyone of the posts above with the name Squid.

were not going to loose it with the raptor either i just cant wait til 2005 till its operational. and russian no we are not the only country with black projects but other countries black projects are where we were 20 years ago so there is your answer.
