Please note that these links do exist -- but they're in the process of being shuffled around a little because of some asshole making an issue of my web sites in court. If one doesn't work today -- it will very soon. I'm guessing November 30, 2005!

For all of you bleeding heart liberals who whined about the $40 million it cost for Ken Starr to again prove what a liar, cheat and thief we have for a president — this story is for you. Let’s hear you whine about this! The source is an Air Force Officer, now retired who forwarded the Air Force Times article to the national media. Did any of you read this in the media or see it on the news? I thought not! Clinton spent more money in one week than Starr spent in three years.
Today I received 27 March Air Force Times and was moved to send heads-up to some of the press re: Clinton's travel costs. Doubt if press will respond, but with your e-mail list, you may want to distribute to our Air Force friends who may not read AF Times.
The 27 March Air Force Times piece should be of interest. The article details the more than $50 Million cost of the Clinton India/Pakistan trip. Nowhere else in the press have we seen reported the fact that, in addition to AIR FORCE ONE and five other Andrews' aircraft, the outbound trip is using 14 C-17s from Charleston, 12 C-5s, three C-141s, two C-130s. Also, seven KC-10s and 39 KC-135s are providing air-refueling support. The return trip requires an additional 10 C-5s and another three KC-135s. (The 22 C-5s, thus occupied, represent one third of the Air Force's entire operational C-5 fleet) A point of interest to the civilian public might be that each aging C-5 is capable of carrying internally, six Greyhound busses. (That would be enough airlift for 132 Greyhound busses in C-5s alone!) Some trip! In addition to the dollar costs, the huge number of aircraft tied up with this operation has seriously degraded the ability of the Air Force to support operational airlift and air-refueling requirements round the world. Must be increasing the workload across the whole spectrum as well. In the face of continuing very careful military budgeting, will the public pay any attention to the comparison of costs of these trips to the unfunded needs of the military?
