ReutersGoddammit! This is stupid: Not only is this (essential) program being scaled back while such useless, unnecessary pork programs as the Stryker, LCS, and XM8 rifle remain in development (in addition, promising systems such as the Crusader and Buford AGS have also been killed), and another thing: even with these "pork weapons" this cutback wouldn't be necessary if it wern't for the spiralling costs of Bush's goddamn useless war in Iraq...Jonathan Nikiforovs.

I'm surprised they haven't completely canned it.The UAV lobby is way to powerful.
