| JDAM stocks to be replenished |
| 2004-02-17 |
| Amateurs study tactics, the professional studies logistics .... The US Air Force has awarded Boeing $642 million for Lot 8 production of 32,570 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs). The company will build 500 lb (227kg), 1,000 lb and 2,000 lb variants for the air force and the US Navy, with deliveries expected to be complete by February 2006. |

| #9 I expect Boeing isn't going to be the only company getting Gvt contract's. Looks to see someone getting orders for bullets and Helocopters in the near future. |

| #8 This gives me hope. I'd hate to think we're through after just Afghanistan and Iraq. There's more work to be done! |

| #6 Feb 06 seems a little late. I assumed our next "festivity" would occur in Spring 05. |

| #5 I have heard from one radio commentator with intelligence ties that we can expect regime change in Syria (where the Iraqi WMD and Nork missiles are buried) AND Lebanon in the Spring (maybe within 90 days). According to this guy (John Loftus of john-loftus.com), it's no accident that the 3ID and the 1st MEF are returning to Iraq. He's also said that bin Laden is in a known geographic box in Western Pakistan and that Perv will look the other way while US special forces "capture" him and his AQ buds and bring them to the Eastern border areas of Afghanistan where they will be officially captured. All in time for GWB's triumphant reelection. BTW, Loftus is a Dem that is very pro-war. |
