President Obama's Letter Promising to Veto Bill With Additional F-22s

"As Secretary Gates and the military leadership have determined, we do not need these planes. That is why I will veto any bill that supports acquisition of F-22s beyond the 187 already funded by Congress....To continue to procure additional F-22s would be to waste valuable resources that should be more usefully employed to provide our troops with the weapons that they actually do need." [Emphasis POGO's]

- President Barack Obama, July 13, 2009
