It is an excellent plane for air to mud and can do that better than any current or future plane.
We do need a A-11 type program to replace it, but killing the A-10 and saying the F-35 can do that job is just stupidity and will get a lot of soldiers and airmen killed.

The Ridder city court in northeast Kazakhstan found Igor Sychyov guilty of urging local citizens to support separatism by posting a poll on the Internet asking whether the East Kazakhstan region should join Russia. Sychyov was arrested earlier this year after he placed the poll on a social network.

A United Nations agency protested Thailand's deportation of two registered refugees to China on Wednesday, saying they should not have been sent back to a country where their lives could be in danger.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees agency said the two individuals were in possession of a U.N. "protection letter". They were waiting to go to Canada, having been accepted as refugees, at the time of their arrest by Thai authorities.
In Washington, the U.S. State Department also said that the two could be in jeopardy on their return to China.
The UNHCR did not identify the activists or their nationalities, but an official at an Immigration Detention Centre in Bangkok gave details of their case.
Jiang Yefei and Dong Guangping were arrested on Oct. 28 following a request from China. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the issue was being handled "in accordance with the law". He did not elaborate.

Thailand has not signed a 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, nor does it have a specific law on refugees. Thailand deported about 100 Uighur Muslims back to China in July, drawing condemnation from the United States and others.
Thai immigration officials said the two deported men were not Uighurs.
