Sounds crazy, but stick with me; if we need more things, rather than cutting
some things that we presumably decided at some point that we might need,
why not just
increase the defence budget....?

I am confused here. I have heard Gordon Brown and other cronies say for ages
that we have enough Chinooks, and don't NEED any more. So why is he
considering buying some.

I hate to think I may be being cynical here but is it remotely possible he:
Was lying in the past
Is trying to make up for poor spelling and tidiness in a recent letter
Has realised there is an election looming (so is offering jobs for workers in the
U.S.A.

That said. Make the order for thirty Chinooks, and then still replace the Seakings
And Pumas
