I suspect the glow will turn decidedly icy. But maybe they don't expect to be in office then. Meanwhile America's Military Industrial Complex is going to become some $12 billion dollars richer from the sale of a hundred or so fighters of dubious ability to 'America's best friend' Though it appears we still won't get the USAF version with the secret radar absorbing paint. Guess there are limits to even the most simpering 'best friendships'!
