I'm sorry, but just because the F-22 hasn't yet participated in Iraq or Afghanistan is not a reason to believe the aircraft shouldn't be something of a priority. It is a fundamentally efficient way to project at least a threat of action across the globe, and I have heard you say before that that is a priority.
