#1 Now that the Democrats are slashing the budget for *our* airborne laser, maybe the Japanese will sell us *their* airborne laser.

In exchange for F-22 Raptors. Which we didn't want to sell to anybody. But the Democrats have left us no choice.

#2 I'm just glad that SOMEBODY sees the wisdom of continuing these "science experiments!"

Does the democrat talking point of "These systems aren't ready yet so let's cut off ABM research and science experiments" fooling anybody who does not already want to be fooled???

#6 Why shouldn't the Japanese and Israelis get the F22? They've both got common enemies to the US.

#7 Because we don't want F22 technology distributed to people who've been known to repackage our technology and sell it elsewhere.

As to the Japanese laser, I've been assured by the Dhimmicrats that a missile defense system can't possibly work.
