Once again this afternoon the New Democrats wondered when the government would hold an open competition to purchase a new
fighter jet and, once again, it was Rona Ambrose's duty to stand and attempt to fashion an assurance
of some
kind.
'' It is also clear, as has been shown so far by the outcome
of the panel probing past arms deals, that the purchase
of substandard weapons apparently resulted from the massive corruption that enveloped the deals, the
kind of horrifying graft that saw the purchase
of refurbished choppers that lacked rotors, or
fighter jets that could not be deployed to the theatre
of war because they were not up to par.
Notice the shoe is spring - loaded, with increased vertical explosion, and hinges — sounds like the
kind of technology that goes into an ejection seat for a
fighter -
jet.
